Question

my last dog done the same thing and he got ran over but survived it, i dont want that to happen to him.

Answer 1

Outdoor kennel, I bought a 5' x 10' used for $75.00. I don't recommend a chain. If he is a digger then contain the bottom with a heavy tarp or something.

Answer 2

Well, that's sort of a broad question. Sometimes dogs get loose by accident, but that only happens once or twice. If you have dogs that *keep* getting loose, you need to change how you handle the dogs.

You never said how they get loose. Are they bolting out the door whenever someone opens it? Are they outside dogs (shudder) and just wander off? Do they climb fences? Dig?

Basically, a fool-proof way to make sure you dogs don't get loose is to supervise them at all times while they are in a well-fenced yard, walk them on a leash and train them to sit and stay.

I have a very well-fenced, secure yard, but I still supervise my dogs while they are in it (usually no more than a half hour at a time). I don't watch them like hawks because I know their behavior well and I know they won't climb the fence, but I will sit on the porch and read, or continually look out the window where I can see them.

We take walks, on leash together. No problem there.

And they are trained to know that when the front door opens, unless they have a leash attached to their collars, they aren't going anywhere. They have never been out the front door without a leash on and as far as they know, they'll spontaneously combust if the go out there without a leash. They also know "sit" and "down" and "back up" when they are too close to the door while people are going in and out.

All simple, easy to understand ways to make sure your dogs never get away from you. If they are fence climbers or diggers, you need a better fencing system. Invisible fences dont' work for all dogs--if a dog is determined enough to escape, he'll just deal with the shock for a second and then be on his merry way.

I saw a great show on TV, but I don't remember the channel --but you could probably look it up on the web. It's called "The Dog Whisperer" -- it's a guy who's a professional dog trainer, but he's almost like a Dr Phil for dogs.

Outside of the obvious suggestions, like getting a fence etc, it has to do with your dog's perception that you'll let him get away with this. It takes some patient training. Dogs are "pack animals" -- they will mind you without a leash or fence, if you establish yourself in the dog's mind as "the leader of the pack". Please check out this guy (sorry I forget his name) -- he dealt with all kinds of problems with dogs, and helped the owners have a happy, obedient pup. His website / books would provide you with the necessary steps.

Answer 4

i could threaten to take the dogs to the pound, it somewhat is sort of obtrusive that the owner does not decide on the dogs, and that i'm able to work out why. He/she not at all experienced the animal. If the owner does not come quickly contained in right here couple of days, basically take it to the pound so it somewhat is accompanied right into a loving domicile.

Answer 5

There are invisible fences which work with the dogs collar and will keep it in the yard without the expense and appearance of a regular fence.
