How to Train a Dog to Stay in the Yard (A Simple Method) 

Yea you missed it. You walk with them on a leash. If they stay in the boundary and seem to realize there is one, you reward them. If they cross the boundary, you call them back and if that doesn't work, use the leash.

@@alexbarcovsky4319 how long does this take my dogs will be taken away if I don't train them in the next 2 months I love them very much but I need help

Mr man I’m so sorry, but this probably isn’t the place to ask that, I’m not sure if people will reply, but take your dogs to a training class stat! That will help much faster!

@@aarongriffin5121 did you have any luck? My dog jumps the yard if we're not around and we can't heighten our fence due to hoa but don't want to crate him our whole work day which is about 8 hours

She literally explained it step by step...

MiTmite9 man do i feel you. Been training my dog for months but he's dumb as rocks and still runs away here and there. Love him to death but wtf!!!

It’s not the dog that’s dumb.

+MiTmite9 The dog isn't dumb. Simply doesn't know how things are. First train your dog to come to you. Have a bunch of concealed treats on you. Get him/her used to coming to you on command. When the dog does something bad, frown (don't hit, physical abuse NEVER works) so they feel that you're unhappy. When they do something wrong a few times and see you get unhappy every time, they'll build the association. Now you have your two basic tools to teach your dog about boundaries. He/she needs to know that you'll get unhappy when they cross a boundary. You can use pretty much anything. Even a low fence is a boundary with enough training. Also there's one more thing - an exception that this training doesn't account for. If there is a bitch in heat somewhere in the neighborhood and your dog is male. He'll run off no matter how much you trained him.

IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE RIGHT NOW. My pup is 11-months like yours was when you wrote this. She came to us when she was 6-months and she never left our yard. We don't have fence, but like a loose bush fence. For 4-5 months she never left. She stayed in the yard to well. But then it all changed some night. She just took off. She didn't come back when I called just ran further. Went to neighbors yards and wouldn't listen at all. Now it's become a regular thing. Where just a few months ago we would be outside for hours and hours just out in the yard not doing much and she would stay by my side now she just bolts off. She can not be let outside without a leash anymore and I need to fix that.

Hello ! How was the boundary training ?? Did you manage to train the dog ?

😅

I'm pretty sure she's the problem not the dog

She literally explains each step.

And has her dog walk a portion of the perimeter..

Let me explain this to you in simple terms so you will understand it. You walk your dog on the leash to teach them their boundaries. It's not that hard to understand

We thought this and we found out that 4 acre is not 4 miles. We regret conditioning our german shep to the property line. She is now hyper territorial against one of our neighbors who turned out to be a nature lover who spends time near our property line. If we had it to do over again we'd give our dog an invisible fence boundary half way to the property line and board fence around the house that allows us to control her closer in. Most humans who enter our yard are legit and not a threat. And most trespassers near the property line are not a danger and best dealt with through face to face or law enforcement.

When you train them to not cross the boundaries in your yard. Take your leash and walk them out of that area a few times to go for a walk and when u go back into the yard take off the leash

Dogs can understand what different objects mean- so if you have a harness or leash for walks, your dog will understand it's okay to cross the boundary as long as they're with you. If they don't have it on, they should know crossing isn't okay. It's all about being consistent from day 1

Don't mean you make bad vids or nothing like that I reread it n sorta might seem that way but just trying to give u a tip is all to make your videos EVEN BETTER! Is what I meant

begley09 have you fixed this problem if not i can give you somewhere to text me im not a dog expert but ive had 3 pretty advanced trained dogs

Well are you gonna have a good understanding will hurting an animal?

@@offimoo9995 huh?

@@robertoarechar1607 yea fixed. I have him trained off leash now and I get people coming up to me all the time asking how

Can you teach him "leave it"? That's what we do with our dog and it works!

Dogs can see color

Did u guys ever boundary train the dog ?

I once had to run 11 blocks after my dog he ran outside as soon as we opened our gate

My dog runs after everything and everyone.

i swear my dog is in a loving home but the second i open a door he’ll run out it like he is escaping a abuser

@@gerhardbritz1196 when I go to catch my dog I usually wait for her to start to calm down and let her guard down before I walk a little slower than normal. Then I start petting her and put on the leash.

The problem with an underground fence is that it will sink over time as the ground settles. Ours only lasted a couple of years. We had a husky. Huskies are naturally born with a need to run (thus their use as Sled Dogs). She got so smart, she would lay near the fence and keep testing it with her collar until it quit giving the warning sound. Then she would run for it. Sometimes when the battery was good, If there was a squirrel in the yard, she would take off after it and accept the shock. Then she would come back a couple of hours later and sit in our neighbors' driveway and bark at us to come and get her. She knew we would take the collar off to bring her back. We did that because we didn't want her to be afraid to let us know she was back. Some dogs are highly trainable...Others not so. When I took her to puppy obedience classes, the instructor warned me that Huskies are one of the more difficult breeds to train. My husband wants to get a lab now and they are supposed to be easier to train. We also live on a lake now, so a lab would love it here. I'm just not sure if I want another dog.

bookdear negative reinforcement just means you remove something as a reward. Shock collars are positive reinforcement or punishment depending on how you use it.

I don’t believe in shock collars we are going to get a fence put up when school is over I will let her chase some squirrels

@@bellw5834 shock collars are mean and cruel and shouldn’t be done

​@@MelB868 they don't even schock

Maybe try, oh I don’t know, putting the dog on a fucking leash

In my front yard on one side there is nothing that divides our yard to our neighbors yard. But my dog was able to learn how far he could go without even needing boundary flags. So I think it will be fine to take them out after your dog learns.

RA A my great Pyrenees no longer waits for me to get home he jumps the fence and walks himself idk how to stop him anymore this has been going on for a month now

@@jonathangonzalez2612 have you tried a leash with it instead of a crate? Im having a big problem too my mom doesnt want my dog im 15 and hes smart enough to open his crate, pull back on his leash to escape im not sure what to do we cant get any fences around since the owner doesnt let us (were renting) and the huge problem is that we might get in really bad trouble hes a rottie/gsd and they have a bad reputation hes as big as me standing up 5'0 and the kids in the neighborhood run every single time they see him and they havent even met so my dog tried to chase then too since he likes to get chazed and not chased. I just got my dog a few secs ago he always comes back but i cant get him to stay and hes really disobidient when i ask him to recall him

i'm no expert but I watch alot of these videos and I learned to make yourself way more interesting then what the dogs interested in. You can act excited or have a treat or have there favorite toy to get there attention. Remember the goal is to make yourself more interesting then what the dog currently finds interesting. Also it could help to teach them the look at me dog trick thingy. Once you teach them that you'll 100% get there attention.

@@justinezupin3018 we don't seem to have this problem no more. She's more well trained and everything. She has come a long way. She's a good dog.

I think that maybe he has to get used to his environment. Guardian dogs like to steak a claim then defend that territory so if you give him some time to get comfortable I’m sure it’ll be ok

@@benmorrow2517 Thanks. I am not used to having dogs. This is my first time so I really don't know their behaviour and all that. I was concerned about this problem because I didn't want him to be traumatized or who knows what problem could he have had. Thank you!

he is most likely grieving.

@@weezy2318 hi! Did it get better? Dogs usually take a while to get used to their surroundings and build trust - remember they are extremely loyal, so he could have just been missing your uncle.

You could try spray paint or tape

Maybe you need a leash so heaven forbid if you’re dog was outside at night and they crossed the road for whatever reason they didn’t get run over by a car. That’s my have suggestion for you. I have the same setup as you where my driveway met the road. And if you get a dark dog you might wanna get a bright caller so you can it in the dark.

Both issues you bring up can be addressed. The first is through distraction proofing. So you put the dog in more and more difficult situations in a controlled way. For example eventually taking their favorite toy and throwing it over the boundary while they have a long leash on so you could stop them if they try to run through it. The second part about them not respecting the boundary when you're away is making them think you're always around (and having them well trained before you leave them alone). As long as the edges of the boundary are visible to you just spend time watching them when you first start leaving them alone. If they're about to leave open a window and say "no", or some people use e collars. It's never 100% though so you have to decide if it's worth it or not.

If it isn't obvious you can also get your dog super amped up and then practice respecting the barrier. If I can get my Red heeler to slam into a down from a full on run in the middle of chasing a cow you can get your dog to not walk through a barrier. I believe in you!! Just practice practice practice.

I don’t believe in shock collars

Yes but it takes longer. They are still trainable

please tell me this boundary thing i have a 11W old pitbull pointer mixhe is very trainable when i use treats to train him, id teach him one day, the next day he'd do it when i ask even tho i dont have treats, but i still retrain him the stuff to make it stronger, and he is a very demanding puppy when it comes to me dishing out his food, i want to teach him this kitchen boundary thing so he wont grow into the habit of demand barking for his food please tell me this training

What have u guys done ? Did the dog(s) eventually learn.? I have a 1 year old German Shepherd and he also leaves the gate sometimes, hes been doing it more now so it's really annoying and scary since hes a big dog I'm afraid he may bite someone or fight another dog.

Also, my dog understands basic commands (Sit, down, come here, stay, etc) but hes pretty stubborn and sometimes doesnt even pay attention to me... 😣 so I'm thinking of maybe having sessions with a trainer.. and I know it's my fault in a way for not being on his ass and training him as a puppy, and also I'm not the best trainer so.. 🤧

JB 02 I got my spaniel when he was already three years old, and already had the bad habit of leaving the yard. He was found wandering along the road, and taken to the spca. We adopted him, after the spca had put in numerous adverts for the owners to come forward. Nobody ever came to claim him, so we landed ourselves with a nice, big, fat problem. He will NOT stay in the yard, and finds any and every way in which to escape. I have a boerbul x German Shepherd, and she has never even attempted to jump a wall or fence. I have a bull terrier, who has never attempted to cross the boundary either. I think this spaniel was never trained as a pup to obey any command, and yet he sits on command now. He responds to being called, and immediately comes. I am at a loss, as he is a really lovely dog, but has this inherent urge to wander. He is neutered, so he is not seeking out females. I really have tried everything, without resorting to harsh methods, such as shock collars etc. he has to be on a leash every time he goes out now, which probably is as frustrating to him, as it is to us, poor baby. I really have no solution and so our ‘normal’ for him, is the leash, or indoors. He has 2000 square meters of yard to run and play, which the other dogs do all day long, and never once ,have they tried to run away. I give up.

Samantha Dennett Huskies are runners. That is the breed and there is nothing you can do about it except have 6 ft chain link fences and/ or keep the dog with you at all times when outside and not off leash either. On leash. And some huskies can learn to climb chain link so rollers can be put at the top so they can’t pull themselves over. Other than that, the dog has to stay inside when you are away or in a fully enclosed outdoor kennel with chain link roof.

These breeds need a lot of exercise...so I am assuming you're not providing enough

Well, golly, looks like THIS trainer DOES. So you're wrong. *insert eye roll here*

What’s wrong with them?

@@lilyrose5947 they are not ideal for long term use or even use at all. Various reasons as to why but the geist is if dropped while stretched , dogs are more likely to run if they are being chased by the lead retracting. These types of leashes can also cause damaging wounds

From a website: 10 Reasons Not to Use a Retractable Leash: 1: The length of retractable leashes, some of which can extend up to 26 feet, allows dogs to get far enough away from their humans that a situation can quickly turn dangerous. A dog on a retractable leash is often able to run into the middle of the street, for example, or make uninvited contact with other dogs or people. 2: In the above scenario, or one in which your pet is being approached by an aggressive dog, it is nearly impossible to get control of the situation if the need arises. It's much easier to regain control of - or protect -- a dog at the end of a six-foot standard flat leash than it is if he's 20 or so feet away at the end of what amounts to a thin string. 3: The thin cord of a retractable leash can break - especially when a powerful dog is on the other end of it. If a strong, good-sized dog takes off at full speed, the cord can snap. Not only can that put the dog and whatever he may be chasing in danger, but also the cord can snap back and injure the human at the other end. 4: If a dog walker gets tangled up in the cord of a retractable leash, or grabs it in an attempt to reel in their dog, it can result in burns, cuts, and even amputation. In addition, many people have been pulled right off their feet by a dog that reaches the end of the leash and keeps going. This can result in bruises, "road rash," broken bones, and worse. 5: Dogs have also received terrible injuries as a result of the sudden jerk on their neck that occurs when they run out the leash, including neck wounds, lacerated trachea, and injuries to the spine. 6: Retractable leashes allow dogs more freedom to pull at the end of them, which can look like aggression to another dog who may decide to "fight back." 7: The handles of retractable leashes are bulky and can be easily pulled out of human hands, resulting in a runaway dog. 8: Along those same lines, many dogs - especially fearful ones - are terrorized by the sound of a dropped retractable leash handle and may take off running, which is dangerous enough. To make matters worse, the object of the poor dog's fear is then "chasing" her, and if the leash is retracting as she runs, the handle is gaining ground on her - she can't escape it. Even if this scenario ultimately ends without physical harm to the dog (or anyone else), it can create lingering fear in the dog not only of leashes, but also of being walked. 9: Retractable leashes, like most retractable devices, have a tendency to malfunction over time, either refusing to extend, refusing to retract, or unspooling at will. 10: Retractable leashes are an especially bad idea for dogs that haven't been trained to walk politely on a regular leash. By their very nature, retractable train dogs to pull while on leash, because they learn that pulling extends the lead.

@@SoSeriouslySirius ok thank you so Much! I definitely won’t be using one for my pups

@@SoSeriouslySirius oh blah blah blah. If you're a moron, then don't use a retractable leash. lol I used one for years. Never any problems at all. Geez, relax, will ya?

Yeah it is... the boundary is the yard lines.

It’s teaching the dog what the boundary is... so that they can stay in the yard. In order for your dog to stay in an unfenced yard, they need to understand boundaries. But I will say the title wasn’t what I expected

Patty Goodey My dog is like fucking Houdini. He can climb an 8 foot tall fence just like a human. He sticks his paws in the holes of the fence and pulls his way out, shits majorly annoying, nothing can keep him inside

Cristian Elizondo I feel your pain. I have a spaniel who does the same, even though he has been neutered.

Cristian Elizondo our dog does the same thing! It’s nuts.

@@jacksprat429 Yikes. Maybe I need to pray for this Dog because I am not able to stop mine and if your little dog can do it AND is neutered. .. gak. :(

Well I have a pit bull and I tried to train him to learn his boundaries with chicken he was doing good until I stop giving him chicken he was trying to run out the gate but the problem when he leaves the fence is that there’s 2 dogs like 2 houses away which one time actually bit my dog and every time he gets out we tend to go running for him so he doesn’t get bitten again which is very annoying

Straw Bxrries my dog learned to find weak points and break the fence. I have no idea what to do - the whole fence is the boundary.

My corgis jump the 5ft fence

Use Chicken wire (if that’s what it’s called)

@Bryan BD if I could dumb fuck

You cannot keep a dog in a cage for too long. They have feelings too. I would suggest getting a pickup and riding around with your dog.

marthajf73 then your beagle doesn’t respect you or it’s boundaries, which is ridiculous.

@@Chloxoxoxoxo ok. Since you know everything, guess you already know that I just adopted this little dog from a SPCA that had taken her from a high kill pound in a rural area. She had been picked up by animal Control/law while roaming at large. She is estimated to be about 1 1/2 yrs old and appears to have had puppies. I took her our of a concrete and steel cage. She had no idea what to expect or what she was supposed to do. You probably think I should demand respect with negative reinforcement. Not happening. I sure hope you dont have pets or children. Now mind your own business.

marthajf73 you post on a very public social media platform, then get mad when readers aren’t Carnac and magically know your situation....incredible... 🙄

No, thats a myth, they see red. Green, orange, yellow and purple.

Colorblind doesn't mean black and white, it just means they can't differentiate between some colors.

Animal abuse

@@stormangel3229 what?

Night Flare perphaps he’s got worms

Worms?

Mr. Muffin if I were you I would get them like call the cops or something

LMAO I know right. .. my dog is retarded also. She is so dumb....lmao.

A cat owns a dog?

😂

Did you teach them to use the toilet? 💩

No just an idiot

I don’t mind my dog chasing squirrels if she stays in the yard

Tish Peters fences ain’t cheap

electric fennces are just cruel in my oppion your not teaching the dog your abusing it
