Terriers were bred to chase small animals. You can train her all that you want, but even with the best trained dog, there is still a chance he/she will take off. You simply cannot override what is in their blood. This is not to say don't train; the recall command could save your dog's life one day, but it's better to be safe and keep her on the lead when in the open as Samuel-Samy suggested. Fence in your yard or a section of it if you have a big yard and she can have just as much fun. Dog parks are also excellent places to go off lead! |
