i am 14 and i have had my dog for 4 years now and he is seven years old .my dog will escape from the house the backyard anytime he can. i need help to train him to not run out and if he does run out to come when i call. but the most scary thing about when he runs away is that he dosnt watch for cars and im scared that he is going to get hit and die.
- when he does get out and i get him back my dad spanks him and tell him bad dog for running away but that is not working help
he is fixed
i have a fence but it is a hassle to invite people over and have a bbq cuz he could get out when people come in through the gate
i want to fix the problem permanetly not just chain him up he is mixed with but he is a chow mixed breed and i know he loves to play in the snow with me

you are really going to have to work with your dog .spanking him does not help. maybe you can get an invisible fence with the collar so he will be zapped when he trys to leave the yard. it is not pleasent but at least he will stay home. try putting him on a leash and walking him every day and stop at different times and make him sit. then proceed again. go to a dog site on training your dog and see if you can find some good ideas for training him to listen to your comands like come,sit and stay. it will be a lot of work but you can do it.i hope you will try good luck.

You should not put your dog outside by himself if the fence is not built to keep him in safely. Walk him on a leash instead and keep him inside. Get your parents to fix the fence and gate so he can't escape. He is running because he is bored in the yard and it is fun to get out and run. Tell your dad to stop punishing him when you get him back--this only teaches him that it is bad to come home because he'll be punished. For teaching him to come on command, you need to read a good obedience book on the subject. You have to teach them on leash, then gradually work your way up to off leash work. It could take months of training. Keep him inside during BBQ's.

Yeah just get something like the fence system. i know u dont want a chain but u could just get a long enough chain to put on him to run around the back yard but not long enough to get out in the street or run away.

Please Tiff, call your vet, he probably needs antibiotics and has pain if he'll drink get some liquid Tylenol and give him a single dose { as written on bottle} If you can get him to let you hold him and hold an ice pack that will help short term, I may sound mean, but be the adult and take him to the vet, it may cost but the other dogs owner should foot the bill, or you could threaten a call to animal control. Your dog is important.

Your dog is not capable of understanding the spanking is for running away. He thinks it is for coming home.
Tell your dad to stop spanking him, or I will have to spank your dad. He is a very bad dad for spanking the dog.
The dog probably hates being spanked, which is why he runs away.

Well, when you have people over for a bbq, then you put the dog in your room or something.

Try basic obedience, and teach him how to come.
