run away dog

[NYCbabi 13002]

My dog runs away on every chance that she can get. From pushing the doors open, to pushing me ?

Have you tried obedience training? Why does she run away (ie chasing something)?

[NYCbabi 13002]

she does chase squirells but that is not the only reason...she does it even when there isn't any squirells. It is really starting to bug me...i never know when the busy streets are gunna hit her or sumtin. No i have not tried obedience training, how much does it cost, where can it be done?? :$

[wolfsoul]

obedience can be quite expensive unfortunatly....when we first got timber, my family wanted to put her in obedience (i didnt lol)
but eventually they just decided against it....it costed 100 dollars a class
u may be able to find something good and cheap in the yellow pages?

have you tried keeping her on a leash??

[wolfsoul]

what kind of dog is she?

[Cheshirekatt]

Obedience training would definately help. Classes here were $90 for 8 classes which also included a 2 hour problem solving seminar. If you can teach her the "wait" command, then you can have her wait while you open the door. It teaches her self control. Also having her wear her leash and collar in the house makes it easy to grab her if she bolts out the door.

she is a border collie, she loves to run. 90$ for 8 classes...not that bad!

where can u get this done? ?

heather, check with you local kennel club there should be one listed in the phone book also check with the local vets and if there is a pet smart check there they offer classes but before you decide always check with your local better business buerau to see if they have had any complaints. ********we have a trainer in town that has been arrested for animal cruelty and been ban from ft. benning had his business license taken away when to a small town near here and got another one so we are always telling people about him. but you vet should be able to recommend a good trainer and so should the local kennel club.

heather,
everyone has suggested what i would say so i just wanted to wish you luck and do you ahve any pics? i love border collies!

[rizzy]

border collies love to run u cant help that but u can stop the fact that she always runs away U could take her to obediance classes or U can reteach her come and reward her when she stays in the yard. My dog also loves to run away and I give her a treat when she stays in the yard. and when she trys playing game i just say Woah which means stop and stay where u r then i go up close to her and say Come and she comes see what works for u
good luck

Primabella, i have plenty of pics, but this thing says that it is to big...tikeyas_mom, thanx, i am trying to look for the best obiedience training person, should i look in the yellow book?or the classifieds?i dunno where to look. I hope this works. Every time she gets loose, she runs out on the street(kinda hard not to in NYC) and she almost got hit by a taxi, a month ago...i am to parannoyed to have a dog that runs everytime she can. i take her to my friends house in Maryland, she has a 7acre yard, fenced...i let her run then. I dunno...i need help.
