This morning, I had him outside in the backyard. He is out there a lot and I usually don't have a problem with him. It's fenced in but he's never out there alone because he's tiny and I know that he will find a place to get out, eventually. He was running around, found a stick, (I don't like him to chew on sticks because I'm worried about the splinters). I called his name and started walking towards him. He takes off!!!! Found a place in the fence he could get through and he's gone  ! I run around to the gate and proceed to spend the next 20 minutes trying to get him. He doesn't go out of our yard but he hides under our cars  where I can't get to him. I'm outside at 6:30 in the morning, in my pj's and bathrobe, trying to catch my dog!!
Anyone else have this issue? Any advice on how to stop this soooo not fun game of "catch me if you can"? He doesn't it in the house, too. It's gotten so bad that every time I (or anyone else in the family) , try to get him because he has something in his mouth, like my husband's sunglasses this morning, he takes off and we have to team up to catch him. It's obvious that he is enjoying himself and thinks it's fun, but we are sooo not amused around here!
Any advice would be wonderful!! |
You HAVE to be stern with him! I have 2 voices for Kloey, the fun and baby talk voice, and the mad mommy voice, believe it or not, she knows the difference, when I use to mad mommy voice, she will crunch down and crawl to her time out spot, I'm serious, she really does this, all I have to do is say her name in the mad mommy voice and she goes to her time out until I use my happy voice. Goos luck!
