As an additional note to the training exercise above. The reward of bolting is excitment and fun. You must make staying behind the no dog area a good thing. Special rare tasty treats, praise and pets. It must become an automatic habit for the dog.
I Love useing a gate to block the no dog area. It only take one escape for them to be killed by a car.Please put a sign on the door that says BEWARE of Dog, to remind everyone you have dog inside. Hope this helps.
