leelibrian Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 about ten minutes ago we went outside to let the doggies have their final pees ect before bed and we always keep them on lead on the street (no garden) anyway because of the new dog Harlie when Leeli went inside and was let off she immediately ran back out of the door! i was out front and just heard my fiance shout 'noooooo!' this has happened before and we normally spend 2 hours chasing her all over the neighborhood. thankfully she's never been hurt. anyway i saw her coming and did this spectacular dive tackling her to the floor while still holding onto Harlie. I rolled through the snow never letting go and long story short i got the little devil! i just had to say about it because it must be a highlight in my life right now. lmao!!

xLOBOx Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's always stressful and VERY exhausting when they get out. And they always think it's a game! Glad you caught her. It would've been great to see a video of it too [emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Glad to hear you managed to get her! It really does put the fear of god into you when you end up in situations like this. Bear escaped her harness when out on a walk a few months back and off she went dancing around the neighbours recycling bins in a hunt for some night time snacks. Heart in mouth moment for sure. Suspect we're all going to get premature grey hair at this rate, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leelibrian Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Scrap that. We were in the park and we swapped lead with harlie and leeli and leeli got away and we chased her for half an hour. She's okay but i feel really deflated now :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's okay but i feel really deflated now :\ It just happens unfortunately it's not like you're planning to let her go. I've lost count how many times Dime has escaped. I'd say at least ten times. Each incident made my heart jump to my mouth... there's just no getting used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't feel bad though! You're definitely not alone. I mean, Leeli is definitely not alone. I could stand right in front of Diamond in an attempt to corner him and he'd just zoom past me because making mommy worry is SO much fun the fact that he's as slippery as fish doesn't help either.

leelibrian Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah Leeli is the same! She does not give a damn when shes off exploring. Thankfully she always stays in places she knows. If she just ran full pelt and never looked back we would probably never find her. But everytime it happens i have that fear that she will just dissapear. One time i thought she was gone and i was crying my eyes out. Bit she came back. Its odd if we were to just close the door and not look for her she would run back. She likes us chasing her !! But we always have to just incase something happened x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Successdogs.com tell how to encourage (help towards) recall. Practice any time calling them by name from anywhere in the house. Esp when out of sight! Reward THE one you called first by name, with treat and praise "Good dog Come!" Reward all if all come. Do it on the lead too; Change direction and call ("name"-"come, come" running a bit & hopefully not having to pull them with you...pat your legs or clap or something to attract their attention. Reward with fuss and treat immediately and as above. Do this ANYwhere ANYtime (so treats in pockets very much a necessity all the time!) The idea is it becomes so ingrained like brainwashing...they just turn the minute you call. Tense voices can do the opposite if they've become tuned to one kind of pitch for recall. The whistle call can be interspersed in training too - as written elsewhere. Difficult to emulate fun and encouragement when your heart leaps if one or all take off but keep at it.
