A dog is a loyal friend and companion, which, however, does not prevent these animals from behaving unexpectedly and unpredictably.
So, one day you may find that your pet has decided to run away.
Most often this happens with young animals or dogs that find themselves in new conditions, for example, when moving or visiting.
The following tips will help you prevent this behavior.
Give time to adapt to the new home
Moving to a new home is stressful for a dog. Only time and your attention can help your pet adapt.
During the first days, the dog may be quiet and wary. Try to build a relationship with it correctly, and as a result, it will love its new home and become more confident and active.
If the importance of adaptation is neglected, the animal may try to escape.
Keep your instincts under control
The sexual instinct in unsterilized dogs can push them to take risks, including trying to escape.
If the animal is serious, even high-quality fencing will not stop it. Sterilization is the right choice.
Get reliable ammunition
A dog should not be left alone if it is tied to a leash or harness that can be chewed.
For tying, it is better to use a high-quality collar in combination with a strong cable or chain. But even with reliable ammunition, you cannot leave the dog unattended for a long time.
Get an address book
Having an address tag with your name and phone number will greatly increase the chances of returning your runaway dog.
Train your dog to come back
One day, the "come here" command may save you from trouble and your dog from certain death.
Training should be done in stages. Gradually complicate the conditions of the task and reward the dog. Just in case, use the leash as a backup during training.
Be responsible
When traveling with your dog to visit, it is important to plan ahead for how you will look after your dog. You need to be sure that you will have time to look after your pet while on holiday.
