Dog keeps getting out, can't get back in!?

Question

I'm running out of ideas, really. My dog, Lady, Half chow, spits, and whatever else she might be.

She WILL get out, I can't always be there to keep her inside, she always finds a way out. Trust me, thats not a part of the question. It's how to get her in.

So, I'm asking, how can I get her in? She pretty much stays ten feet away from me at all times when she gets out. I can't get near her, and neither can my family or friends can't even get close. Dog treats don't work. Cornering doesn't work, I can't chase after her. I've tired I chase her, then turn around and she'll chase me to run back inside. Drove up in the car, open the door and she'd hop in.

She's figured it all out, it's getting harder and harder each time.
We just let her run around for awhile and she'll come in a hour or so, but now when she comes back, she'll sit in our font yard and we can't get her INSIDE. Our neighbors have two small children. She's not a mean dog, but has a VERY scary bark. I can't let this continue.

I guess I should mention this, She's in a fenced yard. She'd simply choke herself if we put her on a line, she's very strong and has broken threw our fence many many times. The holes aren't there to begin with, she will chew threw the wood. Or break parts of the fence so she can get out. She'd only break a leash. Shock collars don't work, we've tired those too. She simple jumped two feet in the air when she hit the shock (which was funny) and went along her marry way. I understand now, that I should have trained her earlier. But back then, I was only in 4th grade, I was scared of her myself, and my parents always worked. Too late to mope in the past, I've gotta try everything I can now to train her.

I'm not worried about how to keep her in, she I wanna know how to get her back inside when she does get out. Cause she WILL get out.

Answer 1

do you not have a fenced yard?? why? if there is no reason Put up a fence. otherwise try this. If its just getting her in. put a lenth of rope on her collar. Do not use a pinch collar. as she could stangle. Use a very flat nylon collar, you want it taunt, with almost no give but be abl to slip a finger or two between her and the collar so as not to suffocate. You clip this rope on her When you let her out. It can be a lightweight nylon rope. is the best They are lightweght but strong. the problem is She has pushed your buttons, Most dogs when learing are never off a lead or an "anchor" the rope should be long enough to go only the distance you allow. say 25-30 feet
keep tabs on her so she doesn't get twisted in it. Most won't. then when its time to come in, You gentley call her and real in the rope. if she balks then, pick up the rope and walk to her but never dropping the rope, Once you are at her.Praise her> assure her that she is a good girl. and walk her into the house. Once In give a terat and then release the rope.
Once she learns. that you have the upper hand it will become part of her routine,. do not allow her to go out with out it. for some time. she first will try all kinds of stunts. "come" is on of the commands dogs fight the most. it means they have to submit to you. But if praise each time or a treat is at the end of that word. the reassureance is there. and it needs to be consistant. Do not punish a dog for not responding to your words. You and the dog have to learn the words together. if Come means punishment. would you go to someone?? see?

Answer 2

Is your backyard sufficiently massive for a kennel? What we've is a kennel that is going lower back in the back of our storage (2 a million/2 motor vehicle storage) & additionally it is going into the storage a sprint approaches. The kennel is enormously massive, in spite of the fact that as quickly as we first moved in my honey did not choose for to maintain the canines in it, through fact they have been used to runing on a fenced a million/2 acre. we've an acre now, in spite of the fact that it is not fenced. the boys that lived there until eventually now had 2 pitbulls so the kennel fence is going up enormously intense. they actually like it, & the interior area has straw for them. they're in basic terms in it for 5-6 hours an afternoon, at times greater.

Answer 3

You're right, you can't let this continue.
You are responsible for your dog!
Whether she bites anyone or scares them;-{
you're the one who will be charged.
The time to train her was when she was little.
Now she is smart & stronger than you.
Perhaps you need a dog-run so she can be out.
You can also get electronic training collars.
These will give a small shock when she disobeys.
But they might not work with a heavy coated dog.
Chasing her is just a game which she controls.
She needs exercise, but you must give it.
