My dog ran off
 

So I'm out raking the leaves on this nice day. I have a fenced in back yard so I thought it would be nice if my dog was out with me while I rake. I opened the gate for a split second to grab another leaf bag and BAM, she bolts out full sprint.

I run after her, yelling COME HERE. She turns the block and I lose my line of sight, I run up there and can't see her.

I run back to my house get in my car, drive around for 30 minutes or so and by some miracle, there she is about a mile away from my house and she was just about to run into a damn highway.

I jump out of the car, yelling COME HER SCARLETTE! and she runs up to me and into my car completely out of breath.

I haven't been that worried in a long long time.

I think I need to train her some discipline. Damn, what a way to start the day.

Your dog was trained by a corporation

Quiksurfer should be able to help you find it.

Same thing happened to my goldfish.

Why does memyselfi live in your backyard?

I found her

she is sitting in her crate to think about what she has done lol

Her name is all wrong, that's the problem.

Had you named her Thomas Jones, she would go about three yards and then sit (or maybe fall)


glad you found her

It's the midgets.

Probably read Denise's thread and decided she needed to leave before the need to rip a human's throat out overtook her.

That dog loves you.

Shock collar.

Happy to hear that you got her back!

Antifreeze

i like this...

my Akita used to run off and I would have to jump in the car and chase him. As soon as I would stop and open the door the dumb dog would jump in...

he was free running the wild and would see my car and come jump in

"oh boy I get to go for a ride"

dumb dog..

long story short.. glad you got your dog back

Suck man.

I worry about mine a lot because he goes to work with me every day.

But yeah, definitely work on some recall. Get her out and make her come and treat he when she comes.

my lab goes apeshit when she sees a rabbit when I take her out to do her business. usually the rabbit is hiding in a bush right by my door so she bolts after it.
luckily, I can get her to snap out of it and come back.

I thought Akitas were supposed to be smart. My buddy has one and it is enormous and ****ing scary, but I love it. Great breed.
