What do you mean by 3 strikes your out? the dog did not hurt anybody,they cannot take your dog away if he was picked up and you had called to verify it you would get your dog back, They cannot do anything..my dog has taken off twice she was taken to obedience and she is cured!!

I know. But our local shelter gives dogs 3 chances and then we have to pay a fee.

If your parents are not willing to work with him and helping to keep him from continually running out, then maybe its time to look into other options for him.

I do train him. For at least 1/2 hour daily. My parents are too busy. I'm going to continue trying and if it doesn't pay off I think it'll be time to look into other options for him.

Maybe a fine will convince your parents to take some action to make sure your dogs can't get out again

They weren't exactly getting out... we had them on a walk. If you talking about Buddy...

Oh right, I see. For some reason I thought he had escaped from home....will read whole thread next time. Training, training and more training is the only answer - will be time consuming and at time infuriating but well worth it in the end. Good luck
