I am very lucky that I have never had one of my four take off after a cat, dog or animal in the yard. I can even have all four of my dogs in the un fenced/open part of the yard with no problem. They really do listen quit well. To me that is...I only have to say three words: Name and NO, ro Thats far enough or HOUSE NOW.. and off they go.
Every now and than they do got out onto the porch to great visiters (totally unexpected) of course. So, everyone knows what command to use to get them into the house. But for some reason my son insists on chasing Ruby and totally ignoring the other dogs when they escape, Not good. That just pisses me off to no end. I thought him how to get them back into the house safely but once he starts yelling and acting a fool they get skittish and want to run from him.
I cant get through his head that by doing that, he is causing more harm than good !! It's like he's taking all of my hard work and training and takes it 2 steps back. Leaving me more work to do to reenforce what they already learned. Errrrr !
Oh and YEs I agree..... that chicken dinner would have done the trick !
