My Dog is getting out alot and if he dosent stop he is going to be killed. Help?!?


Answers:
Out of house? or yard?
If it is the house, install a screen door, that opens the opposite side of the door frame..They are enexpensive..
In yard? Intall an electric fence..You can get the kit at all garden supplies..
Get a better fence, leash, or leash holder whatever u use.
there is a undergroud electric fence you could try that.
Train your dog with praise and reward. Making sure that your dog loves his home will make him return on his own until you figure out how to build a fence or buy a leash.
Try and keep him in the house in a crate.
or
Take him to doggie day care while you are out.
or
ask a family, friend or neighbor to care for him while you are out for day.
Good Luck!
Try being more of a companion to the dog by playing 'fetch' and giving the dog treats. He'll come to you more often and look to you for some excitement.

Also, give him treats whenever he appears to be anxious about anything, In time, and as dogs get older, they appreciate their master.
Is he neutered? What is he attraction to the great outdoors?!?
This may sound strange but it has worked for us but we have a small-medium size dog that stays inside. Get a cinder block %26 tie a leash to it then put the dog on the leash of course get a long leash.so the dog can move around %26 we put a pillow or dog mat down for ours. She was always escaping. By the way this is not cruel I have ask. It is if you do not let them off to get food %26 water though, Our dog also had a habit of doing business in the house in places she thought we didn't look, I should mention we were living in an apt. now a house %26 she is put outside during the day when it is pretty. She loves it
I had this problem too, but I put my dog in a fence, that was in a fence two fences. But in your case
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS HUNNY
*get him neutered, stop his attracktion to females thats the basic problem with male dogs.
*get rid of a doggy door
*get a cage for your dog
*tie him up on a long/strong rope or cord outside to get exercise, (it will make him less jumpy and ready to run away.)
*Tire him out so he won't want to run away.
*train him to stay in the yard.
I WISH I COULD HELP U MORE
talk to you later cuttie.
p.s. I'm a single, popular, white girl :)
love u
Training, training, training. Sounds like you need to persue positive training with your dog. If your dog is getting out of the yard, you either need to set up a proper fence (of fix the possible escape holes) or at least use a doggie tie out. If he's getting out of the home, you can work on training him to "wait" at the door. It takes time, persistence and paitience to train for this and a treat reward (soft treats are the best choice, cuz they simply like them better) to teach him not to dart the minute the door is opened. Put him on a leash, at the door, instruct wait and open. When he attempts to run, reposition him to the proper spot. When he finally does wait as you instruct, then praise and reward him for doing the right thing. Eventually you will add "okay" as the release word to let him know when it's okay to go. Do this enough times and eventually, he'll get it. Always reward for doing the right thing and never physically discipline for not getting it right. It only makes them scared and less likely to do as you ask.
Give him more personal activity when you get home or before you leave for the day. take him for a walk 30 to 40 minutes let him do his business.. and you get exercise too. dogs get bored waiting for their (pack leader) to give them the daily activity they need. The trick is to be consistent with his activities.
first of all i have three mini dach they are inside dogs.I do let them out 3 to 6 times a day to do their buisness you know #1 and # 3 i have to keep them in check but that is way i do it.
