Another question:

How do I stop my 10 month old from bolting out the door for freedom? We practice the wait command when she is on leash ready to go out for a walk. No problem. We practice when the door from the kitchen to the utility room is closed, again, no problem. But let someone open the front door or door that leads to the garage (with open garage door) and out she goes. There isn't even time to use a wait command - she is lightening fast. And once outdoors, she is gone (live in town in a relatively quiet subdivision, luckily). None of the holler and run the other way and she will follow you works. For one thing, by time you make it to the street, she is already a block away, this furkid is RUNNING. You can yell her name and she doesn't even look back. She has gotten out 4 times and luckily each time there has been someone outside a couple of blocks away that she has gone up to to investigate and I have been able to catch her...... any ideas????
