Recommended Answer:
treats that's the way to go dogs love treats and praise small bits when you are training and he gets it right give him one. you need him on a long leash call him to you show him the treat when he come back give him praise and the treat you'll have him eating out of the palm of your hand by the end and he will respond to your commands try carrying treats around in your pocket let him know you have them he wont want to wander to far as he will want a reward unless there is a ***** on heat then he'll want a bit of you know what!!!

Free Dog Training Tip - Proven Tips To Train Your Dog


  • it sounds like you have to catch him in the act and discipline him appropriately

  • Well no electrcity shooting though your body isn't very pleasent. Simple solution put him on a cord. I understand alot od people hate doing that but it is for his own good. My Jack russel would run off if he got out the door with out his lead on and i had to go after him he always came back but one time he was injured very badly and had to take him to an emecancy vet because he was littlerly bleeding to death. Go But a 20 foot dog lead and set it up so you can get him on the lead from inside. I hooked mine up to my antenna tower. Soem people set up a clotes line form teh house to like the garage and put the lead on that so teh dog can run teh yard and still stay in the yard.

  • Some dogs are runners, and really without intensive training there will not be much that can be done to change that. I would recommend keeping this dog on a leash. He sounds quite determined to get out of Dodge.

  • You really need to get a kennel and covered mesh run. The more times your dog manages to escape the more likely he is to keep that behaviour (if he lives that long).
    When he is out of the run he needs to be on a leash or inside. It is up to you to prevent him from running away first - by controlling his environment then secondly by training him.
    Make sure you take him for lots of walks and start training him the basics, like sit, down, heel, and come (on a longer leash), reward him for every thing he does correctly with praise and perhaps a little food.
    If you need help to train him get in touch with your local dog obedience club or trainer for assistance.
    Once he knows the basics of obedience and you have some control then you can start training him tricks....

  • I'm not sure why you feel the need to leave the gate open in the first place. The only danger is not your dog getting out, it's other dogs & animals getting in. If your dog can scale the fence then the solution is not electrifying it, it's supervision while he's outside. And you're right, he hasn't been injured yet, but every time he gets out you increase the odds dramatically.
