Thank goodness you were able to catch Max! Tell him not to scare his mommy like that again.
I have read here and in books that instead of chasing your loose dog, try turning in the opposite direction and calling him to come. Of course, this works only if you can get your dog's attention.
Your experience is a good reminder to us all to continue working on commands "stay," "down," and "come." When teaching come, turn your body and feet the direction you want your dog to come. |
