Marley does the exact same thing!
When I say "No!" he doesn't stop running. I am SO scared he is going to get hit by a car. Well, lately when he is in the backyard and I want him to come inside I say "Come here Marley", then I stick out my hand with a treat. He has caught on to this and comes running to me then goes in side.
So, today my dad was leaving the house, and Marley bolted though the front door. My dad was calling and calling for Marley to come back, but Marley just looked at him and ran. I came out and called for Marley I also stuck out my hand (I had no time to grab a treat, so I had to pretend). As soon as Marley saw me stick out my hand he came running towards me. I was soo happy he came back!
We have also been working on the command "Stay", this way when the door is opened he knows he cannot just bolt.
Maybe this is something you can try. |
