I see my neighbor's dog, laying down on their front lawn, without a leash. I cant do that with my dog because it would just run from home. How do i make my dog not run away?

Some of it depends on the nature of the dog and its age. Our 7 year old German Shepherd stays in the yard, has a spot to sun and sleeps under the back porch. We live in the country so there are no distractions for her and she is not as young as she used to be. When we lived in town I would not have trusted her, although, she would have run all over town and eventually come back.
When I was a little girl my mother wanted our schnauzer to lay on the porch. She found if you let him out the door he came back. (This was in the "60's before all of the leash laws) One day I was asked to look for the dog as we were late to church. He was curled in a ball on the porch covered with blood. He came back home, but not before a weimeriner took a chunk out of his back. After $350 worth of surgery - a whole lot of money in an age when a candy bar cost 5 cents, the dog was scarred and had a place on his back where hair never grew. He always had bladder problems as well.
If there are leash laws, and your dog won't stay in the yard, he could get hurt or hurt another dog when loose.
I would chain him or pen him until he is old and has no desire to roam.

My dog was a senior Yorkie and he never ran away. He always stayed in the yard without a leash. (Dog age from 9-13 years)

Maybe you should be patient to your dog in the training. Of course the dog will try to run away without training. I think you take it out for jogging in the fix time. The dog will learn about it. Maybe this is the dicispline.

There are a lot of factors to think of here. How old is your dog and the neighbors dog? What are the breeds? You have to think of all of the differences between the dogs. It takes a while for most dogs to know better than to leave the yard. Dogs are just as curious as cats especially in the younger years. Try to train him or take him to a trainer.

Hi i have got a English springer spaniel and he is 2 now and head strong i am only 15 nearly 16. we have got 4 dogs all of them are good well all but him he is the only one who want to get out on the road and things. he was not happy with just staying on the garden like the other but i find that you have to make them want to stay with you. what you need to do is you and a friend go on your garden get your friend to hold your dog on a lead. make your dog sit down looking at you walk down your garden with the dog looking then hide be hide something calling your dogs name but making sure your dog can not see you then get your friend to let your dog off the lead with you calling your dog and your dog should want to come and find you. when your dog has found you grab him and tell him good boy and give him a treat. and do this again and again but hiding in different places true he it work i can now take my dog for a walk and let him off the lead and he will come back to me . but remember to scare your dog away when he comes if you are out and about and your dog is off the lead and he comes to you do not put him on the lead give him a treat and tell him good boy their are lots more things you can do my dog has still a lot to learn but he is a lot better good luck x

The Poodle is an sensible, straight forward to coach style of canine. This canine is likewise magnificent to strangers once on the fringe of them and could no longer chew yet merely bark for the first time even as seeing a stranger. This canine also performs with different pets, alongside with frogs.

well, different breeds have different characteristics. i used to have a lab who would always want to stick around, and then i got a beagle.... she goes wherever her nose guides her. so what we did was buy a citrus spray coller. so basically, you have the remote and whenever she leaves the area shes supposed to be in, you click the remote to spray and then call her back. eventually the dog will learn that shes not supposed to leave or else she'll get that blast of citrus up her nose. it works pretty good.

train it. come on. just care for for your dog let it loose in a park and it would recognize you and won't run away. then just throw away the chain and just let the dog roam around. it would return to you. then just keep the dog in the front lawn, tease the neighbor and love your dog.

NO dog should EVER be left unattended without a LEASH. EVER.

an invisible fence they sell at pet stores might work, install in on your property, attach the special collar that zaps him and tells him that whenever he gets close to the edge of the yard this is what happens, it worked for a freind of mine and had no problems
