Stray No More
Keep your dog from running away.

There are lots of reasons that some animals seem to enjoy escaping from home.  First and foremost, spaying and neutering can go a long way in helping to reduce a companion animal’s wanderlust.  Other animals enjoy “the thrill of the chase” and just love chasing things.  See a fast moving boy on a bike gotta’ go!  See a bird fly by must chase it! 

For animals who insist on chasing, it’s best to keep them on a secure line (always supervised) when there’s a chance they may take off.  There are also animals who run away because they haven’t learned how to bond to their human families. 

A good, upbeat, reward-based training program can help you develop a terrific relationship with your animal…and keep them safely, happily at home.
