Rotton Run Aways Run-away doggies usually run from their master because they aren't ready to go back inside yet. They know that COME means, "Come here, we're finished being outside and it is time to go back to boring inside". One way to get past this is, call your dog to you several times, each time give a treat, a little good doggie party, whatever. Then let the dog run off and continue playing and sniffing. He'll never know which COME is the final one. I saw this on TV today and tried it on my dog. It worked first time. I had her come to me four or five times, each time a treat was included. When we were ready to go, I called her to me, she came wagging up, ready for a treat. I picked her up, gave a good treat, went inside, gave another good treat. She was good. It worked! |

This is funny... Make sure your pup really likes the treats. I brought my two out this morning with some homemade meatballs and Jonah did his little squirt and came running (he likes to hold and go as many times as he can for more treats) he liked the meatballs so much that he emptied his blatter immediately upon ingesting the meatball...he didn't even move...I was on the cement walkway...that dog is just too much!!! Had to laugh and share... |
meatballs Hey Rebecca this is too cute. Tessie and Hobbes would probably love meatballs. I need to try something more exciting for her because she hates to potty outside. I took her pee-pee pad outside today and she went directly to it. That is an improvement. Susan |

Oh wow I was just reading everyone response I love it. My Roxy is a runner as well... Sometimes I just want her to go outside and come to me when I call her but she runs.. One time she escapes between my legs when I went to take out garbage and ran into the street if it wasn't for my boyfriend to jump in middle of street to stop the car. The car would have ran her over since she's so small :( Oh my world would have collapsed.... My sister has her dog to where she listens but then again dog is always outside my Roxy isn't he pee's and poops inside on pee pad. If we are outside then she goes :) Last weekend we were in PA and everyone was outside but my Roxy had to stay in a pet yard because I was just to scared to let her out in open to run into the woods.... I gotta the treats I'll start with the command inside first before I attempt outside.. Thanks again.. |
Hey This is exactly how Tessie is. If I let go of the leash she would run, I am so scared she will get away. Fortunately we have a large yard or I would be afraid of the road. That would be devastating. I also worry about her running out the door. I tell her to stay but sometimes my husband forgets to watch for her. I take treats with me now and her leash and try to get her to listen. She is very stubborn. Good Luck. |
Yorkies are terriers/terriers are runners. It is something you need to remember. My male yorkies are notorious. Yes, they were neutered. Binky would run...I mean RUN with nowhere to go in mind. Totally dangerous. There was no training that would stop his urge to run if he scooted out a door. Not all dogs are receptive to training to break this horribly dangerous urge. Caution, if you have one of these. |
Thank you for your post. I had 2 cairn terriers for 14 years ( both are in doggie heaven) one of them was a runner. I watch Tessie very carefully and work with her, but she would still run if given the chance. She is always on a leash if outside and the garage door closed if we go out. I appreciate your concern.
