I highly suggest teaching him commands like come and wait and yield or halt or whatever words you want to use if he doesn't already know so. Ours does not leap out the door b/c every time before she leaves, we make her 'sit' until we release her when the door opens. When she plays off leash in our cul-de-sac (no cars around), if she takes off and is in front of us, I say Zoe wait! and she stops and waits for me to catch up. These commands are HIGHLY necessary. During training, while you're walking to the door, leash him and teach him these commands, if he does what you ask, give him a treat and say good boy. |
