What to do if your dog is off the leash and won't listen: the best way to get your pet to return to its owner
Making a dog obey requires patience and long training. Without this, the dog will simply grow up spoiled.
Once off the leash, he is unlikely to come running at the first call of the owner. Let's try to figure out how to tame a disobedient pet and make him come back.
1. You need to start training your dog at home in a familiar environment for your pet.
The animal should not be distracted by extraneous stimuli. As a result, the dog should learn to immediately respond to its name.
2. Do short but frequent workouts.
3-5 minutes and 3-4 times a day is enough. Be sure to reward your pet. The intervals between training sessions should be gradually increased, and the tasks should be made more difficult.
3. Choose a suitable place for walking outside and repeat the training, rewarding your pet.
4. Develop a habit in your dog to respond not only to its name, but also to a certain sound or gesture.
5. During the walk, you need to maintain a good mood. The pet senses the owner, and if you call the dog when you are irritated, then most likely the dog will not want to come.
6. You can't rush to let the dog off the leash. You need to conduct training on a long belt.
7. But you definitely shouldn’t run after a dog screaming, especially if the dog is scared.
You need to wait until your pet stops and calms down. Then you need to come closer and gently call the fugitive.
The dog must understand that returning to the owner is always pleasant, “tasty” and joyful, and without trust this will not happen.
