Tonight i took my bealge pup of 7 months old outside with a choke collar on her. Somehow she managed to get her head out, and then bolted across the road and everywhere around my house. I quickly went inside and got her treat jar and started shaking it vigorously, as that sometimes does the trick. She didn't come though, and after few more minutes of running around, she just sat looking at me, and then i slowly walked towards her then grabbed her. Thank God. Question 1)What could I have done better in the situation?
question2) Should I also get a smaller choke chain? is it easy for dogs to escape out of choke chains in general?
I'd also like to add that she's been well socialised, been to puppy kindy (in the process of looking for a dog school now). She "sits" "heels" "down" and "wait" and all that other command most of the time inside the house.
I also used the amichien bonding methods recommended by the doglistener Jan Fennell, and other dominance methods.
