1. Make sure your dog is spayed or neutered. Unneutered dogs are more likely to try to escape.
2. Make sure your dog is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation. A bored or under-stimulated dog is more likely to try to escape.
3. Create a secure and safe environment for your dog. Make sure your yard is properly fenced and your doors and windows are securely closed.
4. Train your dog to come when called. Make sure your dog is always wearing a collar with an ID tag, and practice recall commands regularly.
5. Keep your dog on a leash when outside. This will help prevent them from running away if they become startled or scared.
6. Provide your dog with plenty of positive reinforcement and rewards. This will help to create a strong bond between you and your dog, which will make them less likely to run away.
