I've already lost one little yorkie to bolting, when he ran into the street in front of a car and now Daisy is doing the same thing. I thought I had it all worked out with her. She wouldn't even go near the back door until I told her it was OK, but today, she bolted and ran again. And no matter how many times I said "NO, HERE" She ignored me and kept running.
Thankfully she ran into the neighbor's yard where their son was outside and he grabbed her! It makes me weak in the knees when she does this. I honestly feel like I could throw up for about an hour afterwards. Major Flashbacks!
I give up
I will only let her out on a leash and never ever trust that she will stay right with me to walk to the fenced in area of our backyard. I was really hoping I could let her out in our yard with me without a leash. No such luck.
