My Maddie does the same thing when she escapes! I too have tried yelling her name to run the other way, but she is running so fast down the street she doesn't even bother to look back at me!! She has a reliable come when in the back yard or in the house, but if she escapes out the front door to "freedom" all bets are off.
She will sit and wait before going out the door on leash to go for a walk, but she knows if the door is open and she doesn't have on her leash, off she goes. Does anyone have a reliable method to keep them from bolting out the door? Maddie is 16 months old and we do go for daily walks. Will she just outgrow this? I envy people I see outside with their dogs right beside them working in the front yard, etc. |
