A few times you leave the gate open and your dog finds this an
opportunity to make a run. Except you're as fast or faster than the dog,
running after it is quite useless.
Depending on the dog, some dogs can run at length and not get tired while others would get tired easily and surrender.
It is very important NOT to punish a stray dog. You need to let your dog know that coming to you is more fun than making a run.
Follow this few steps to recall your pet on the run:-
First, training your dog to come on command is very important and would be a life saver in cases like this. If you dont have the time to train your dog, get a dog trainer.
Never shout at your dog: this would only make him think coming back to you is trouble. as earlier said, he needs to know that coming to you is safer than making a run.
Talk to your dog: In a soft tone, call your dog's name. if he stops and stares at you, squat slowly. use words like "good dog" "come baby".
Take the right tools: If you find what your dog likes best,eg. a toy, some treats. Take them along with you. This increases the chances of him coming back to you.
Praise him when he comes to you: This is very important. give him a lot of praises. give him some treat once you get back home.
