RE: Training a Dog to Not Run Away
My male Yorkie has taken up running when the door is open. He dashes out before you even know it. He is extremely fast. The dog is the most hyper dog you have ever seen. I was hoping he would calm down now that he is 14 months old. He is a pistol I'm not kidding. We walk and play daily and send him to Doggy day camp weekly. Just to wear him out. But now we discovered he is a runner. How can we prevent him from running away?

We've got three dogs and they finally stopped running away! I believe time did it and most of all, we play with them several times a day with tennis balls and frizbees. The labs especially have learned that being outside is play time. They even just wait outside near our cars now for us to come out. Last suggestion is to say come and whichever dog comes first gets the biscuit.

Of course dogs like to run when they are off the leash, but they need to understand that they should come back when you call.
When my Jack Russell was a puppy I was advised to take her for a walk before her mealtime, when she was hungry. I would then call her back to me when she was off the leash and everytime she came back, she got a little doggy treat. Within a day or two she understood that coming straight back earned a doggy treat. After only a week or so, the food treats were replaced with lots of praise (which dogs crave) and the job was done!

There is a TV show called the Dog Whisperer, we get it on the national geographic channel on Sunday afternoons.
He is awesome with dogs, he has a pack in Los Angeles of over 40 dogs, all different sizes and breeds, and they all get along.
On the show Caesar teaches people how to be the pack leader. Although each dog is different, you can still use many of his tips to help your own situation.

Jack Russells need time to run off the leash like in a dog park where they can be off leash. They are bred to be hunting dogs and have much pent up energy. It is not natural to keep them on a leash all the time. They need a field to run in so they can be happy. They are not doing anything wrong, they need to run. Did you not read about the breed before you got one? Its not the dog's fault.
