Answer 2

Unfortunately I do not have a good answer, my German shepherd is a runner also. I believe my problem was "not socializing him" when he was a puppy. I was given him by my best friends daughter and was so busy with my work I did not take him on walks or out in the public to get used to other people and dogs.

If your dog is a puppy it will be much easier for you to stop him from running. I would start with obedience training. Teach the dog to sit, stay, lie down and come when called. Then take the dog out on a leash, do this as often as you can so you don't get in the situation I am in.

Perhaps you can ask another question and give more info such as how old your doggie is, if he, or she has had any training and if so, what kind. Also, perhaps you could tell the dogs gender. Females are usually more gentle and less difficult to train. Have you had the dog spade or neutered? This is a good thing to do, for reasons stated by the humane society and also because it calms them down.

I hope that this give you something to think about, Good Luck!

Some products available on the market can be purchased to restrain your dog on the property like the invisible fencing. These fences can be expensive but easily outweigh the cost of a boundary fence.
Give your dog plenty of exercise morning and night this will be able to tire out your dog so it may sleep all night.
For a temporary arrangement until you can stop your dog from escaping you may have to tie your dog up at night or when you go out. If you have to do this make a running line for the dog and give the dog adequate shelter and water for the period it is to be restrained.
Keeping a dog tied up for long periods will also cause behavioural problems like over excitement when you arrive home or excessive barking.
and a thing to always keep in mide is to be sure you puppy has a nametag in case it ever does run away..
Good luck!

The breed of your dogs plays a role here, and so does the way you confine your dog.
1. Huskies are notorious 'runners'. It's in their blood and soul, and no training produces a reliable 'no-run' husky, although training can HELP.
2. The dog needs to know that HOME and YOU are the safest place he/she could ever be. Make it pleasant for the dog to be with you. NEVER scold the dog for running away when he returns home. All he will learn is that he gets scolded when he comes home.
3. Restrain the dog. Keep him in a fenced yard when he is off the leash. Make it impossible for him to run away.
4. Keep a leash on your dog while you let him walk around. Call him to you, and every time he comes, praise him. If he doesn't come right away, use the leash to drag him to you, THEN praise him. The idea is for him to receive praise when he comes to you, no matter whether he came on his own or because you assisted him. Eventually, he will learn to come when called and expect the pleasant voice, praise, a little petting, or a treat when he comes.
You have to be CONSISTENT, and you can't get angry or harbor resentments when you train your dog. You have to be the absolutely reliable source of friendliness and discipline. Only THEN do you earn your position as 'Alpha' in the dog's eyes, and he will respect your commands and requests.
If your dog fails to do something, do not seek to blame the dog. Find out how YOU failed to give him proper instructions, both with your voice and your body language.
Dogs are NOT born with the knowledge of how to come to humans or how to stay with humans. You have to teach them that.
The icing on the cake is that YOU develop a better and stronger character for yourself and all your other relationships when you learn how to properly train a dog.

Answer 5

I have a Husky and they're notorious for running away. She does when she gets free but comes back when she feels like it. That doesn't mean that I want her to though since she could get stolen or hit by a car. My only hope is to be vigilant in making sure that she is secured in the house or on her run at all times.

It depends greatly on the breed of dog that you have. My Papillon puppy doesn't go more than 50 feet away at any time and he always comes when called- this isn't as much from training as it is caused by his toy dog nature- they don't want to stray far from home or their masters because they're very devoted.

Consider hiring a professional trainer to work with you and your dog on coming when called. This would be the best hope you have of keeping your dog nearby. Otherwise, make sure your dog is confined at all times. Good luck!

Answer 7

Close all your doors at night or when no one is around and keep your dog on a leash and train it to heel so eventually he or she will do that without the leash. To make your dog happy, give it lots of loving and attention.

Answer 8
