  1. Fear: A dog may remember a place where it was once frightened and run away if it recognizes the surroundings.
  2. The dog is bored. Sometimes it just wants to run, or it goes in search of adventures. It is better for you to play with your pet at home.
  3. Curiosity. A dog may become interested in something unusual, and in this case, it can successfully overcome obstacles and ignore the owner's call.

Therefore, it is better to use a leash during the walk and have more contact with your dog. It would not be superfluous to conduct training.
