Life What am I supposed to do? - Page 5

**Dunit35** · 03-28-2009, 09:18 PM

My dogs got out of the backyard...again. They just did it the other day and I had thought I fixed the problem. Well, tonight they got out again and this time I have no idea how. After an hour of looking we saw them coming back to my house so we got out to put them on leashes. They both decided to take off, my female ran to the backyard while the male took off in another direction. I eventually caught "skye". Well, then his collar broke and he took off again. I couldn't believe that he did that.

We're doing all this looking with a foot of snow on the ground and puddles of freezing ass cold water everywhere. I can't get out of my driveway to look for him. We followed him around trying to get him to stop with no luck. With our feet, socks and shoes socking wet we gave up. I'm worried about where he is and it's driving me crazy that he's not in my house.

What am I supposed to do?

Everybody thinks he is mentally reeruned.

I had a lab that was like that once. He escaped at least two dozen times. Finally it came to the point where I said fug it, if you want out that bad, be gone with your bad self. I hung him in the paper and he was gone the next day.

We tried getting him with treats, I even tried getting him to come to my female and that didn't work. He's either deaf or mentally reeruned.

My soft-heart keeps telling me to not give up but I am fed up with him.

Wiener dogs are stubborn.

I never got along well with male dogs. Only had 2, but it was always a battle.

**Dunit35** · 09-14-2009, 05:30 PM

Finally got him. My fine neighbor caught him in her yard.

He always goes over there hangs out with her male dog...gay? possibly.

Piece of advice. Keep him on a tie-down for now. Work with him every day until you can call him to you. It's one of the first things you should teach a dog, yet gets over-looked.

I need to get a better collar, one that he won't chew through or slip out of.

Any ideas?

If it can chew it, it's too loose.

If it can slip out of it, it's too loose.

Whistle at the dog, get his attention and then run away from him.. Generally they will chase you..

Ha, I tightened it pretty tight this morning. Maybe it wasn't tight enough.

I bought him a harness collar last week and the son of a bitch chewed through it in less than an hour.

I was thinking a leather one would work better.

I tried that. He started following me and realized I was going back to the house.

I'd put his ass on a choke chain.

Show him a picture of Michael Vick and then staple it to the fence where he's getting out.

Silock · 09-14-2009, 09:18 PM

How often do you walk him? I'm going to take a wild guess and say "not very often."

wutamess · 09-14-2009, 09:21 PM

Seems to me you need to get rid of the fugger.
Had a dog that kept running away... Never looked for that fugger.

If all a dog has to do is run around in the yard, eat, sleep and shit and he still wants to run away, then have at it.
