Simple answer but you won't like it:
Because they were given an opportunity to chase it, and they had fun chasing it. The same reason why they run away from you-- they think being chased is fun and game.
You need to TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. First, provide an environment that they cannot fail in (always leash, enclose, etc). If you give them any opportunity to fail (chase animals, cars, people), they will try, and learn that it's fun.
Secondly, you need to do obedience training. The "come" command is the most important one. It takes a LOT of time and efforts, but it pays off.
The other thing is you can wait till they're older 7-10 years old. That's what a lot of people will tell you. Total BS. There is no substitute for 1) providing an environment in which they cannot fail and 2) training training training.
