 My Yorkie runs :(
One of my Yorkies will run out the door and not stop if someone accidentally opens it without making sure he's behind a gate, picked up, etc. first. Everyone is my household is pretty good about this but I'm always worried when we have guests over. I always make sure to close the gate but they'll open the gate to get past it and then open the door without closing the gate. I literally have to make sure I have my eyes on him all the time when we have company. I always tell people who come over but sometimes they're just not thinking and accidentally don't watch out. My other Yorkie would never run. How can I stop this one from running?? I've tried to teach him to 'come' and it generally works (as does shaking the bag of treats) when he's INSIDE but if he gets out he just ignores 'come' and shaking of the treats and we have to run after and catch him. He has only got out twice (we've had him about a year) and both times it was when a guest opened the gate and then the door. I'm worried because this weekend we're going to have a lot of people over :/ |
