[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our newest dog is not too new, it has been 2.5 years since adoption.

But she cannot be trusted not to run off. If the front door were left open, she'd run. This has happened a handful of times. We have to kennel her if we are in in and out bringing in groceries. She was an escape artist with an opening in our fence at one point until we secured it. She can't be trusted to be loose anywhere without a fence.

She is high-energy and seems to love us, but loves to run and explore, and doesn't get enough or fast enough daily runs with me. This is a mixed breed terrier type dog.

DH and my other dogs have not been like this. Have you had success getting a dog like this to become more trustworthy to not run off? We've been focused on other various training issues as she is a difficult though sweet dog. The Covid times have been so busy we have not had time for this training issue.[/quote]

I had a dog like this (adopted) and people who think it's a quick fix have no idea. Even if I tried to just open the door enough for me to squeak out, sometimes I wasn't fast enough. If I had to carry even a bag of groceries in, I would kennel. Securing in my yard only worked for a month at most before he'd find another way out.

Yes, there was training and exercise. No, it didn't really get better. Dog was perfect in every other way and I just had to work around that one issue. [/quote]
