Next when dog is let out I blow the dog whistle, as soon as he comes he gets a treat, I do it when he is in the house just random so he know come to The whilste
Honestly not much can stop him when I blow that thing
He is full speed

When I start the walk
Do the same walk so he knows his way around
Than I let him lead so he knows where the house is when I get home I say the word home
Than I use the word take me home and let him direct me home

And lastly I long leash, it’s 25 foot rope made my Remington
I don’t hold it and we walk around the block, if I need to I step on the leash
And now he feels more comfortable wearing that long leash.
I stilll use the whistle once a day
And he comes a running

Ever. If the dog runs away and you call him or her back never punish, this way when they do they won’t think I’m in trouble tell them good boy/ girl every time they come to you when called

Even at dog park he stays about 50 feet from me, he will look back to make sure I’m there
I can even take Floyd into woods
And walk him if he gets out of sight I blow the whistle

Never punish always reward and you can walk freely with your dog, and they won’t run away
Plus play with the dog as much as possible
This was they want to stay with you and in the house

why would you even think that putting them will resolve the issue? Id think about finding them a better owner

so did mine! she is a shiba inu, and jumped out of the car window as we slowed down on the interstate!

In my backyard, I put concrete blocks all around the fence line. Unlike chicken-wire, concrete blocks do not need to be attached to the fence, and the brown colored ones that I got blends in pretty well with the surroundings. Perhaps you can have a discussion with your sister about this?

What is your Shiba’s daily routine like? Does she get walked daily? How long are her walks? My Shiba really needs his daily walks even though he has other dogs to play with.

For bolting out the door, I do door-manners training. The current caretakers will need to do some of the training, setting up structure, etc. My Shiba behaves pretty well with me, because I trained him, have a bond with him, and he knows he cannot get away with breaking rules when I am around. A new caretaker would need to set up a relationship as well, through training, consistency, walks, structured play, etc.

Escaping is a self-reinforcing behavior. When a dog makes a successful escape, he gets rewarded with a fun walk outside with no rules. This reinforces the escaping behavior, which encourages the dog to try escaping more. To stop dog escapes, we need to make sure that the behavior is *never* rewarded, i.e., we need to prevent successful escapes. This requires supervision, exercise, as well as blocking all avenues of escape.

As for shock collars, it is not something I would use on my dogs or recommend to others. Shock collars have many risks, and studies show that they can cause even more behavioral issues down the road. More on shock collars.

Also I forgot to mention, since it’s not my house I cannot fix the fence to add chicken wire, which seems like a great idea. I have been thinking about the shock collar, but the roommates are top notch dog lovers and think it’s inhumane to do that. I know it’s my dog, but I want to respect that it’s their house.
