Dog Training Help Needed!?
I want to train my 4 year old miniature poodle who wont stop running away. Everytime I leave the accidently leave the door open, he runs away. It is getting very annoying every time going to catch him. I need some tools or help on how to train him. I cant really afford a dog trainer right now and I just want to learn how to train him on how to not run away. How could I train this dog into not running away? He's a miniature poodle who really needs to be disciplined.
Most poodles are too "soft" for a shock collar, and the timing's tricky anyway.
You can put up a baby gate at your front door while you both are working at this problem - it really helps. I actually put up a fence and gate around my porch to help contain my pets while they were learning.
Practice a good, solid "come" command. Call your dog randomly and praise and treat the heck out of him when he does come. Clip him on a leash when you have to go in and out. You can either clip the leash to your belt, or to a piece of furniture. I prefer the belt, to get the dog to pay attention to you.
Set up practice times, with a very long light lead attached to your dog and a door left open temptingly. When he bolts, "pop" the lead and tell him "No! Inside!" and praise the heck out of him as you drag him indoors, finishing with a particularly toothsome treat when his paws are inside. (Make sure his collar fits well, or he'll slip it!)
Keep at it. Poodles are very trainable, and you just need to be consistent.
