Dog Runs Out When Door Is Open

My older dog gracie is one of those dogs who stays right by your side even if she s not on a leash.

Dog runs out when door is open.

The door dasher is the dog who barges out past you when you open the front door or who waits until your back is turned for an instant before running off shouting free at last sound familiar. Safety is the primary reason why you should train your dog not to run out an open door or gate. Wait 30 seconds then grab the portion of the leash on your side of the door before opening it. When she runs out the door i know she s not going anywhere so i don t give it a second thought.

Running out of an open gate or door and into the street can be very detrimental to both your dog and the one trying to get your pet back. The moment i leave the door open by accident and leave the room she bolts out the door and takes off for hours. Tell him to wait and hold a treat near his nose with one hand as you open the door with the other. If he tries to run out the door take the treat away and make him sit again.

However they get out dogs that run away are no laughing matter. This is particularly true if you have an at home daycare do a lot of outdoor entertaining or have a dog that is a fence jumper digger or otherwise creative escape artist. She will wait for the okay she ll sit at the door looking up at me. Like scooter many dogs treat a door as if it were an escape hatch rather than a boundary.

If the dog stays in place reward him with a tasty treat. For others it s an opening with access to freedom whether it s the car door or a fence gate. However do not think that you will not be able to cure your dog running out the door on you without some effort. If your dog runs out the door when you open it quickly close the door while part of the dragline passes through the door catching it between the door and the jamb.

This way your dog will be stuck outside but immobilized. Walk the dog near the door and ask him to sit. You may also need a separate space for your dog to enjoy while you are away from home if he or she likes to. She will never run out when someone is standing at the door.

Teach the dog a wait command. My problem is that my dog only tries to run out when no one is looking. Even if you have a well fenced backyard where your pets can run play and explore you may still need a dog run. The behavior is extremely dangerous as the dog can be injured ingest harmful items become lost get stolen or worse.

For some canines a door is only a door. Your dog running out the door or out an open window can be a problem for many dog owners to face on a daily basis. Or she won t stop digging under the fence to escape your backyard. Maybe your dog bolts as soon as you open the front door even if he was nowhere to be seen before you opened it.
