Maybe he wants to explore. Dogs have a need to roam and explore new things. Smart breeds like YT get bored quickly. He is in the fenced back yard every day, it is not mentally stimulating for him any more. I think that maybe you should take him for a long walk every day, and let him see what is out there. Get a leash and have him sit by the front door before you put it on him and take him for a walk. I think that once he knows that he will have an opportinity to go out then he may not feel the need to flee from the front door. He is very smart and does not come when you call him because he knows that he is just going back inside. I hope that this helps I know you must be concerned for his saftey when he runs, and must be tired of chasing him. |
