My dog escaped toward big traffic street. Me running in opposite direction and making funny noises wouldn't work. I run after him ,got between the cars marking signs to drivers to stop. Crossed the street and managed to catch him, but a nice lady with a car stopped to help me take him home. I didn't have his leash. It was a scary experience. Since I taught him the word STOP, and he is slowing down to full stop. We adopted him last year. He was a street dog, and very much street smart!💖🐾

[@karenaggett1832]

Same thing just happened to me. I tried running in the other direction, but he just kept going up towards the road. He got there before me and I was sure he'd get killed. Luckily, the traffic stopped on both sides, and some kind people got out and helped me. I almost had heart failure, but my pup just didn't have a clue what all the fuss was about! Time for training 😮

[@bonnaroo2k2]

Thanks for this! I wish I saw this a 1/2 hour ago 😢. We live in a couple acres and he was snoozing in the sun 10 feet from me! Two little dogs came in my yard and Max bolted after them! My street is quiet but a main road crosses it. I jumped in the car after doing all the wrong things and took off. THANK GOD he randomly stopped at the stop sign and turned around and ran towards me when he heard my car coming. I lost it and yelled at him and put him time out in my house. I’m trying to calm down because that scared the shite out of me!

[@DogsThat]

Hi, we're so sorry you went through that but glad you're all well. How scary! Remember to give yourself grace, you did your best in a difficult situation. The tip on the video can be helpful for another emergency but what's even better is to train a reliable recall 💕

[@lozerette]

I'll keep this one in mind! Our go-to right now is to make a sound and then sit like we've been hurt. (Imagine the sound you'd make if you twisted your ankle, then how you'd sit and hold it.) Dog comes back to check on us, mission accomplished. It has worked on several dogs (ours and not ours) so far, but it's always good to have more options!

[@pascaleburnet7583]

Super tip Susan! I wish I had remember the “pop” part when I lost my puppy for more than 40 minutes Monday! It was a huge fenced area 250 acres so I did panic but I called him multiple time, I could not see him as the area is full of gullies, streams and hills that I went up and down for the time he was gone and had no idea where to go and look! Then he reappeared I pet him ( no word) but his leash back on and we resumed our walk! Phew! That is not an experience I want to repeat! Now I just need to rehearse the dolphin squeal :)

[@DogsThat]

Thank you, Pascale! That must have been so stressful for you.

[@pascaleburnet7583]

@@DogsThat yes and no because it was fenced I knew he would come back but where to look for him was the stressy part :) it is the first time he did that so caught me by surprise :)

I just rescued a dog and he's a runner. I just had this experience its terrifying 😳 😪😪😪😪😭

[@plume1639]

I did too! He was a street dog and he thinks it’s a game running after him!

[@kayleewilliams107]

My dog was currently running around the yard when I turned on this video. I got her 2 min after watching this! 😂 thank you. I’ve gotten her by running in the opposite direction before but never tried dropping before and it worked. She just stood over me confused.

[@EmceeRands]

My cavoodle is a runner. I've just started letting him off leash (after plenty of enclosed dog park practice runs first) at a semi enclose oval. When its time to leave and recall fails, I've started walking away from him. He's an explorer but also very attached, so he catches up pretty quick to put the lead back on. I didn't think to do this until recently because instinct is to 'save' your dog, but they just think it's a game. I'm glad I found this vid to affirm I'm not a bad pet owner!

[@2CorgiMom]

Wow, great info! Recall goes out the window once we’re away from home and there is a multitude of distractions. Thank you! I

Couldn't be happier with Recallers! Best training program ever, and I've put out a lot of money on trainers, seminars, and schools. You will very very happy.

[@poppydevon5271]

Love it 😍. Use this method if my pup disconnects from me on the beach & begins to do her own thing ! I shout “byeeee I’m leaving you”, turn away & rush off in the opposite direction. Works every time. The other 99.99% of the time her recall is perfect thanks to Recallers😎🐾

[@mishagriffith5518]

This is such timely information. My Maisie is getting more clever at finding holes in my perimeter. So far I have been able to catch her or stop her before she got out, but I will try Sop, Pop and Roll next time. This is sadly too late for my first dog, Snoop, who bolted from the car and into traffic.

[@janehl8263]

Thank you so much for sharing all of the wonderful information! Susan, you're the best!!

[@munabilleh4307]

My cavalier recently dashed out the gate as soon as a guest opened it. I had to run after him like a headless chicken bc he just sprinted off down the road- had I not chased him I wouldn’t have been able to know which way he would go. He chases cars and cats 😭 so even if a nuclear bomb went off he wouldn’t flinch in that situation! Luckily he ran into someone’s garden and I got him back. I have a LOT of work to do with him on recall. Your channel is amazing thank you so much for all this valuable information!!!

[@DogsThat]

So glad he is safe @Muna Billeh! Thank you for tuning into our channel!

[@fehryn7369]

I just tried it and my dog looked then ran the other way. I came in house with gate open hoping she'll decide to come back but I'm one block from a busy major street😢

This just happened to me right now in a big traffic busy road my Chihuahua was running until I text my mom and told her about these tips to get her back

[@ffhd1clt]

So I have a Beagle, so you know right away I have a breed that is going to follow her nose. I’ve had quite a few beagles, but this is the first time in years that I’ve had a young one. I got her at around 3 months, and now she’s roughly 1.5 years old. I’m completely paranoid about her getting off leash. It happened last week in the pouring rain as I was about to leave for a work trip. It took about 45 mins, and a missed flight, to get her back. And she didn’t come back until I did what I should have done to begin with, go home myself. I tried going after her and talking sweet to her, but of course, none of it worked. Now I’m completely paranoid about her getting away, especially if I have to leave her with someone. That’s why I’m here, I’m searching for answers.

[@DogsThat]

We're so sorry you had to experience that, it must have been so stressful!

[@perrybb2]

Yup, this is good advice, I kinda had to figure it out on my own. However when I was a kid, our family had a dog that would bolt out the door and literally never look back and not care if you were going the opposite direction. My new dog who I had since she was a puppy is the complete opposite

[@mnnomad1870]

What about a treasured Siberian Husky that made a break for it 9 hours ago and didn't look back. No one has seen her and it's beginning to rain here in Minnesota. She's only 2 years old and has never come back home without assistance 😮

[@mjremy2605]

Huskies are a very wild and independent breed. She needs to run and be outside most of the time. Not a dog for city life. Give her to a ranch.

[@katiemckown1502]

Great ideas, but I am a senior and my running days are over. What do I do?

[@lauriebaker-s5s]

just had the Is happen today With our rescue dog, she snuck by someone at the door and she was gone😢, three hours later iwas able to get her hime safely with lots of help from our awesome people in our small town .I so worried about cars hitting her but not much traffic here,,we had her for two months,part Jindo/greyhound or border collie built for running, we had minutes before this came in the door from a walk with her ????!! Had treats for her etc tried walking away finally I think she got so tired and I walked up to her and clipped on a leash and leaped in a friend's truck head in my lap super beat.thak goodness for good neighbors and small towns in Vancouver Island, best place in the world.

[@helenfrench8775]

Will definitely try this although my rescue WCS runs off like a whippet and doesn’t look back. She’s managed to slip free twice in five months - both times v scary but this evening, in cold and dark fields in England it was particularly heart stopping. She came right up to me after about twenty mins of free running. So, good girl for that and not trying g to run off again. 😵‍💫🐾🐾

[@DogsThat]

Hi Helen, that sounds very scary! Ideally, you wouldn't have to use this tip as it's only for an emergency. Have you looked into anti-cape harnesses?

[@tavdashi]

my dog is the worst when it comes to recall. i also sometimes feel like he doesn’t give two shatoots about whether im there or not because me running in the opposite direction has never helped haha. i don’t know how many treats ive wasted trying to teach him but it just does not work. ive tried everything possible 😭 even if i run in the opposite direction he gets distracted by something else and runs away eventually so im left with no option but to go after him so as to not lose sight of him 😭😭😭 its so embarrassing screaming after him but i have no option. this happened today as well. me going in the opposite direction does not help as hes already in his own world chasing stray dogs and squirrels. its truly wonderful 🙄

[@docjody8624]

Running in opposite direction doesn't work. Dog took off at a gallop today, crossed busy highway. Complete chaos. Might have to re-home her. Was out in freezy cold windy downpour 1-1/2 hours trying to get her back home. A neighbor brought her here in their car. More havoc-- dog loves to go bye-bye & now has a huge chaos-generating incentive to run off again. To get to ride in a stranger's SUV. She's purebred Lab. At my wit's end.

[@mjremy2605]

This would work if you are in a big, green field and with some dogs only. I am in a sad place. I adopted a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and he was probably in a hoarding situation and left to his own devices, never inside a home. He is street smart but has a need to break out of the house and take off. He ran 1 mile in 30 mins and some people found him and brought him back. Since then, he has escaped numerous times and taken off down the pavement, crossing a major street (again) and eluding capture. Yes he has high exercise needs. I walk him 2 miles daily and take him to a park to run free and sniff wild things like terriers want to do. He still runs off. An open window, a crack in the fence, pushing screen doors open, etc. He also is a very picky eater even with roast pork, hamburgers, roast chicken, fresh Greek yoghurt, fish, salmon, veggies, scrambled eggs...! No junk food. He sleeps in a luxurious bed on my bed, eats like an emperor, walkies daily, professional grooming that I do. He has come a long way with being nice to other dogs, and not leaving the park anymore. But... your technique would not work on him. He goes off on his own, sniffing wild trails and could not care less what happens to me. If I shriek, he won't even hear it. This dog is closed off to bonding. I cannot get close to him, always fearful, always suspicious, always wanting to run away despite the best home he could have. He is going to be rehomed. I have had enough of this ungrateful dog. No more mutts. I will wait to rescue a pedigreed dog - mini poodle, my favorite. They are loyal and loving. This dog is disloyal and has no affection for me.

[@J_GoTTi]

I naturally did similar. You have to simply be smarter than the dog. Try and read their chemistry. If you jump, run, or lunge at them, they’re obviously going to run. So like this woman is saying, try to entice them instead. I literally just got back from catching my runaway pup because my genius of a step dad let him loose at 6 months old…

been try8int to train my shihtzu to recall even within her own yard and home...she is no 11 months and isnt any closer to obeying

[@4nyxy]

Hello! I got some story too like that. We adopted a dog with a very sad and bad past. She doing well. Im very thankful for that tipp. We also train her with a very long leash and keep her rewarding everytime she comes back. One time she run away because the lease fall out of hand and we panict and keep on running after her. A old man with a dog far before us of the route hears me saying please catch the leash, he catches it. That happend like a week after we adopted her the first time. That old man with his dog was our hero, after him nobody was out there like a western town. Next time i will try your tipp. The panic growls just deep, every one must be strong, it costs a lot strength to do that what you told in that video. In our scenario our dog doesnt know us for long time, i wonder, if that could have work out too. Im just happy, nothing happend to her back that day. Thank you for sharing your Videos.

[@katherinecollmer1094]

Great advice here! I’m guessing from your comment that we shouldn’t rely on this as a rule that it’s not advisable for me to “practice” this with Win in the backyard when he doesn’t respond to a recall? Is it appropriate to use at all when he doesn’t respond or is running away from me in a safe environment? Thank you for this video and all the others.

[@NerdSnipingBatman]

You shouldn't tie up a dog. That's so cruel. A dog that is tied up can't escape from predators rather real or imagined. It increases fear and anxiety, especially if you leave them like that alone.

[@NerdSnipingBatman]

Your dog probably fears you at this point. It's going to be a long battle to gain her trust again. Start with hand feeding to regain trust. Play with her and spend time with her. She's not going to trust you if you only provide a bowl of food and water but otherwise try to tie her up and leave her alone. Bring her inside.

I often allow my dog off the leash in the park and she is a golden retriever that knows where people leave their cat food and goes away from my and eats it. She will not come back when searching for food no matter what I do. Also, she is ravenous and finds the smallest morcal of food on the ground and I fear she will eat something that is harmful. I don't know what to do. I feel guilty if she does not run a few times a day. I made the mistake of yelling at her when she finally came today, because this time she went out of site in the park...I've obviously screwed up my dog by yelling at her when she came back this time but now that spring is here, she is out of control for some reason. What do I do? I am lost and fearful she will not get the needed running time a few times a day... HELP!

Staying has not been her strong point as a young puppy yet. She is an excitable and stubborn 4 month old Boston Terrier. Boy do we have our hands full! And she bites us. My husband will not get on board with all the training videos that I've watched and tried to follow since day one. So I told him, it's your dog then. Do what you want. But I'm home alone with her and not able to run around the yard to try to catch her. I guess she will just have to stay out until he gets home in about 5 hours. So frustrated after cleaning up pee and poo off the floors.

Why did you both get a dog in the first place? Dog requires work. You should consider to give him to a loving family. Every dog race as their character and energy level. It should ALWAYS be considered BEFORE adopting a dog. Boston Terrier have very high levels of energy and needs daily long walks and play time.

[@lorenrobertson8039]

@@nathaliej.6824 That is what my husband wanted and we do love her very much. She has become much more manageable as she's grown up. My husband puts her to bed in his room...doors are open if she wants to get down. But she waits on him every time. I was not going to get another dog. I felt like my days of being able to take care or live long enough to keep one were over. His arms and heart were yearning to be filled, so that is what we did. He takes very good care of her and she is so attached to him. She loves me too, but her daddy is the love of her life. We tried for months to find a small older dog to adopt from the shelters in the area...all I've ever had were rescues. But none were to be found but one that I fell instantly in love with, then was told when we went to check out that he was already spoken for. I don't care for your attitude, but you don't know us. So I forgive you.
