Tips For Keeping Your Dog From Getting Lost

If you have a dog that has a knack for adventure (that is to say, if you have a dog that sometimes tries to escape from your yard!), you should make sure you are aware of the things you can (and should) do to keep from losing your dog. After all, the last thing you want is for your dog to get out of the yard, run off, and never be seen again, and the good news is that it is not difficult to keep this from happening.

The first step in making sure that you do not lose your dog is to keep your dog in the yard to begin with; if you have had problems before with your dog getting out, check the perimeter of the fence and figure out the spot he might be using to escape from the yard. Consider putting up chicken wire around the outside of the fence, deep enough into the ground that your dog will not be able to dig underneath it, as this will go a long way toward keeping your dog from leaving your backyard.

You should also teach your dog the boundaries of your front yard; this is easiest if you have a young dog, as you can teach them the boundaries of the yard by taking them out into the front yard sometimes to play, and training them to know where they are allowed to go and where they are not allowed to go! There are plenty of people whose dogs can escape from the backyard and still never leave the front yard, because they have been trained to know the boundaries of the yard and do not stray outside of these!

Although these steps will make it far more likely that your dog never leaves your yard, you should still take one final precaution: Make sure your dog's collar has a tag that includes the dog's name and your phone number, as this will allow you to always retrieve the dog, no matter how far away it roams!
