Preventing Your Dog From Running Away
Can you really keep you dog from running away? Many dog owners think that running away can be solved by property training the dog, which is teaching him to stay within boundaries of your property.
The dog is a roaming animal. The notion of property training is against his very nature. Therefore, you can property train him, but do not expect it to work 100% of the time. He may dash to the end of your lawn or land and not put a toe onto the road. You can tempt him with treats, another dog, and clapping and he won't come. But later on, the right temptation comes along, a jogger or the scent of a dog in heat and your property training is gone.
If you don't want your dog to run away, use a leash. Train him and go out with him off leash so that you can stop him with a verbal command. Install an overhead run and hook him up to that when he's out alone. But don't count on him to go against his nature and perform the impossible. After all, he's just a dog.
