CARRINGTON Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Before you take her out make her sit and wait (if she does not know those two commands you may want to teach her them) as soon as you open the door keep the lead kind of short and she goes to bolt say ah ah and pull on her leash so she cannot go anywhere and have her sit and wait again. It may take you several times to understand this because up until now she has been able to bolt out the door. So have her sit and wait until you give her the release to go out the door. Also look up NILIF on google they really help you out on this and many other aspects as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I may be wrong but the way I'm reading this you haven't got her on a lead when you open the door. If this is right you must always keep her on a lead. If it is that someone is walking in the house and she is escaping, then people must be aware that the dog will run if she see's an open door. My dogs are all kept behind secondary doors or safety gates. The front door cannot be opened unless these doors are closed and the dogs are behind them. Another security measure is that the front door stays locked. It may seem a bit extreme but these are highly intelligent dogs and do work out how to open doors. Always remember that huskies love to run and if they see an open space they normally will, and not come back. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Training is fantastic, however the lure of the big open space outside is very tempting. Which is why we (and many others) have child or pet stairgates fitted for whenever we have to open the front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 We have a dog gate blocking the kitchen off from our front hall/door way where all dogs are put n the gate shut b4 we open the door for any reason , unless it's for walks then they're all on leads anyway so can't escape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I have to open the front door I have my dogs in the back patio so try can't bolt or ill have them on a lead. I don't trust that they will listen when someone comes over like the pizza guy,etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povodny Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Mine are good, they know they can't go out the door unless its for a walk. They are told to wait while I open it for guests and the post. Also when I put the rubbish out. Last week I was so proud, I went next door to ask if they had jump leads. The daughter opened the door an inch with their two poodles going ape behind her. Her dad came to the door an was having his tea. So I said I'd come back later. He came round an knocked at ours. I told mine to get back an wait. Then opened the door with them all sitting in the hall while he handed them over It's no different to teaching them to wait while you put their dinner down. Make them sit an wait/stay. Begin opening the door, if they move close the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyGuerl Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Mine are pretty good about not bolting but there is always that one chance so we keep a gate up to block that area of cus our front door kinda has a room of its own from the living room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 secure your dogs before openig the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Like some others, mine is good and doesn't bolt out...but just in case I always make sure he's attached to something before I open the door. Huskies like to run and are naturally escape artists - I don't think that's something you can train out of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myka Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 the last 3 days i have been working with luna to sit and stay, playing with the doorbell and knocking on the door, also teaching her "in the house" SHE is doing great, i think with persistant training i can keep her from bolting, or at least to come back if she does, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
