Problem Dog

(cyprus)

I have been walking this dog for a neighbour, he is very friendly towards all people, is scared of most dogs and does not know how to play.

This dogs was rescued from a rubbish dump, we assume it was raised by a cypriot as we live in cyprus, in cyprus most dogs are kept outside and exercised only at the weekend and are severely displined.

I have only a small problem with this dog as follows

When on a lead this dog is very obedient, however for him to get, as i see it, enough exercise i need to let him of the lead, when of the lead if close he will obey, but normally as soon as i release him he will run approximately half a kilometer away. This in its self is not a real problem as he will return inside of five minutes unless, he finds an animal. The only real problem with this dog is if he finds a game or foul bird or a cat he will run it down kill it and then start to eat it

If anybody knows how i can stop my dog from killing chickens and cats i would greatly appreciate it, as at the moment i walk him with an extendable lead and he is not getting the exercise he should.
