Common Reasons Why Dog Leaves and How to Prevent It?
Responsible owners do not let their dogs escape. Escaping exposes your dog's life, safety and health. An escaping dog can threaten wildlife and be a public nuisance. It is your responsibility to guarantee that your dog cannot escape from your property.
 Dogs that are isolated or confined for long periods of time become bored and agitated. They may try to escape to find entertainment elsewhere. The escape act itself may be a form of entertainment. Many dogs escape just for the fun and challenge of it. Try to have a schedule such as daily exercise, play and training sessions with your dog. A good, hardy play session especially with other dogs will tire your dog and give him the exercise he needs. A happy, well-exercised dog will contentedly sleep the day away while you are not home.
 Make your property escape-proof; provide your dog with fence. Be sure the fence is tall enough to prevent jumping or climbing. If your dog is digging under the fence, continue the fence underground by hiding metal stakes into the ground every couple of feet. If you don't want to build a fence, buy Wi-Fi dog fence.
 Dogs cannot fight the call of nature. If an unneutered male dog smells a female dog in heat, he will do whatever possible to get to her, no matter what the cost. Do not torment your dog - get him neutered, get her spayed.
 If you expect your dog to stay on his own property, be sure he enjoys it there and does not regard it as a prison. Spend time playing with your dog here. Make this a fun place to be; give him special treats and chew toys here. Provide a digging pit. Get him a playmate. If you don't want another dog, invite his favorite buddy over to spend the day with him.
 Some dogs try to escape because they are frightened. Observe your dog while he is confined. Is there something that is scaring him? Sometimes loud construction noises or teasing passersby can make your dog nervous. Again, the solution is in making your dog feel secure, happy and relaxed in this area. Spend time with him there and help him build his confidence about being alone. Provide him a secure hiding place in his area in the form of a dog house or crate.
 Dogs that get daily walks will have less interest in escaping, because exploring outside with new sites which they join together with you.
