Training your dog that running away isn't a game... I need tips on how to train Charlie that running away from you when you come after him is not a game. I am sure that is what he thinks it is. i want to take him places like the dog beach and let him run free and worry about that because he has done it at home. Sometimes he'll stay right by my side when we walk out without a leash, but he has decided to run and make me chase him and it turns into me chasing him up and down the street while he plays you cant catch me. How do I make sure he knows not to do that. |
The last time we went to the dog beach i kept him on a leash. I felt so bad because I could tell how much he wanted to be like the other dogs and play and run around, but I was worried he'd run. |
Train him to "Stop" and stand still until you approach and pick him up. I've trained Tibbe to do this and when he is out and about and begins to walk away too fast, I just tell him to "Stop" and he does. If he's well trained, Charlie will stop and wait for you, not run away. |

I've worked with Joel a lot on this. I started in the house, all day I would go and pick him up and carry him to his treats and repeat it all day, so he knew what happens when I keep picking him up. He also knows the difference of the tone I use. I could be playing chasing him around the house and then I switch to my serious voice "okay let me pick you up" and he immediately lets me get him. I also got him used to if I ever am yelling at him(by accident lol) to not run away. Like when he was a puppy if I sounded stern or annoyed he never ran in fear because once I got him I would give him lots of love where as most people would get them in trouble, a lot of dogs will run away if you call them with panic or urgency so he doesn't do that either. Even when he was a little jerk:p when he was a puppy, when I was so annoyed at him for making me chase him in the yard to go inside but once I got my hands on him he got tons of love and kisses. And also you should to teach 'stop':) |

Last week we went out together to take out the trash like we always do... Or when his daddy (yes his daddy lol) gets home from work I will open the garage so he can run out and go greet him... He always comes right back in with us. Well last week we went out together to take the trash to the dumpster and he got a hair up his butt and bolted out towards the sidewalk and took off running. Me and my fiance are funning up and down the streets looking like asses chasing our dog and charlie is running around practically with a smile on his face thinking it is a game. I was yelling at people walking down the street to grab him (which they couldn't).. Well i finally caught him when he had to stop to take a poop and I haven't trusted him since. That came out of no where. So he hasn't had the freedom to go off leash out since. I want to let him but I want to know he wont do that again. |
Just train him to stop in place and stand fast when you say stop and make it sooooooo very great a reward when he does it, he'll knock himself out stopping for you any time he hears that word. Tibbe thinks he's won the lottery when I say "Stop!" as he knows he's in for good times ahead and a lot of praise, clapping/dancing with him and serial treats and yipping and yahing and telling him how wonderful he is for 5 minutes. And, we practice "stop" at least two times a week. But he won't run off now - much prefers winning the fun game of "stop". |

I'm going to start working on this today as I have the same problem with my Yorkiepoo. In fact today, I could not get her in the car to go to her aunt's for Easter. Twice she has leapt out of the car in a parking lot and started playing chase me. She had the entire parking lot trying to catch her then she ran into a grocery store. The manager was NOT amused, nor was I. Yes, I have to get this stop game down. |
