More details needed.
How old is the dog, how long have you lived in that house you share with him, What are the living conditions.
Do you treat him well, put food out and water.
Was he happier in his last house.
Does he have a room for himself, Are there other dogs , Do they push him or torture him. What about children.
If he loves his home, de will not run away unless he is an outdoor dog , some breeds will not tolerate being cooped inside the house.
Research the breed. Find out its natural home preference. Modify his living arrangement.

As pet owners, we all need to make sure that we can properly contain our pets. Make sure that your fencing is secure and repair any areas where your dog may be able to escape. Your dog cannot run away if you have him contained. This will resolve his running away and you will assure his safety.
Additionally, training will help, but depending on your dog's breed, that will not be the only cure for the situation. My dog has been completely obedience trained, he follows direction, etc., but he absolutely cannot be trusted not to roam and he is never EVER allowed out of our back yard without a leash. I knew this about Great Pyrenees when I got one, so I made sure to have him microchipped just in case he ever got out. While he follows direction, the breed is known for having a very poor recall, and my dog rarely comes when called, I could never trust that he'd come bounding back to me if he were loose. But I knew I was not getting a retreiver :)
Train him and contain him and you'll be just fine. Good luck!

See your VET for a chip and exam......A dog trainer is a must for realistic advice.
Runaways, you gotta love'em, but a runaway will always runaway if given the chance. I had a runaway for 15 years, a germanshepard mix from Okinawa, Japan. He could bark to laungages ...English and Yappanese. Good Luck.

depends- if you have a husky or even part husky, nothing will keep it from running away, unless you put a high fence they can't dig under. If someone says differently, they never owned a husky.
As a last resort method, we use the shock collars with variable settings and use the lowest level to get a reponse. We yell, and give them a minute to start heading back. If they don't, we yell their name again then shock them. Once they are trained with the shock collar (usually only takes a couple shocks) you will just have to put the collar on to get them to listen to you- you rarely need to shock them afterwards.

Don't let it out off of a leash...
Take your dog to a training class and work on recall for times when it does get out.

get a chip first and foremost. then you need to spend time with him. when he's on the run, give him a command he responds to. does he respond to no or stop?
