My sister has a "run-away" Yorkie as well. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law has had to put up and invisible fence for her. She has gone as far as around the other side of the lake. Thankfully, where she lives, everyone knows Sophia and because of her tags she has been able to be brought back home safely. My sister has train tracks behind her yard so the invisible fence was necessary. I brought Grace home when she was 12 weeks old and I have been stern with her despite the fact that I just wanted to carry her and cuddle with her every single moment of the day. I think that helped her to identify me as her "pack leader" and knew she must obey. Can you perhaps add a screen door to you door so that you are at least given fair warning and ample time to hold your dog back from running out? |
