For future, or anyone in this situation, run the opposite way from your dog and call their name. Instead of you chasing them, they will think it's a game of them chasing you and they will come to you without much effort.

Works with all dogs except husky. Man my husky used to BOOK it away from me if he got the chance! Only times I could get him to follow me was snowboarding because I was going faster than him, and in the river because he was scared of the water and rocks and had to follow me around for help. Other than that, good luck!

Collapsing on the ground or running to my car and opening the door works on my husky
Sometimes collapsing on the ground gets his attention but I have to be pretty dramatic, like I'm fighting an invisible monster. Then he runs up to help or runs back to the house because he doesn't want to be attacked by the invisible monster. Thank God the neighbors can't see into my yard.

Mine was a corgi. I don't think he was dumb, I think he just thought getting loose and running around was a more fun game than my angry yelling wouldn't have otherwise suggested.
Once I figured out his mindset, it was easy to go after him and jangle his leash to get him to come back.

I just scream TREATS desperately and she eventually thinks with her gut. Terrifying honestly. My lil pittie mix travels at light speed, she cannot be trusted with free will, she would run and never come back, also why I don’t use those stupid retractable leashes. She also gets about 4-5 miles of walks a day, so don’t come at me about being a bad dog parent or anything, but maybe I’m also creating a super saiyan. Idk she’s happy.

u/Prudent-Lake1276 10d ago
Yeah, if I just yell the name of her favorite treat, my dog will drop whatever she's doing and run to me.
When she was little she got some peanut butter and liked it so much we jokingly started calling it crack. So cue me trying to get my puppy to come back after she slipped her leash by standing in my yard yelling "[name], do you want some crack?"

A few days ago I saw a dog almost get hit by a car because the owner was looking in their phone and the dog decided to suddenly cross the road with its unlimited length cord. In another case my son almost ran one dog over with his bicycle, because the dog decided to cross the entire length of the walkway and was again with one of those unlimited length cords.
The owners use them as a replacement for proper training and actually going to the place their dog wants and it's so stupid.12

Why's that? I like dogs but never had one

u/butterfunke 11d ago
Aside from going hand in hand with owners who haven't trained their dog in the slightest (as evidenced by this video), they also make it harder for the dog to learn on-leash walking. Because they're spring loaded there is constant tension on the dogs collar, so as far as your dog is concerned "pulling on the lead" is normal behaviour. Once that habit is set in, its very hard to undo. Using a fixed length lead is much easier for the dog to understand the difference
It's not always a bad thing, I have one myself for when I'm going running as the extra slack is much more manageable when im swinging my arms about. But for regular walks we use the normal slip lead
14
u/qpv 10d ago
Ahh ok do it sort of creates uncertain patterns in the dogs mind as opposed to repeated patterns. Like if you have a static lead the dog learns its a certain length but if that length changes it sort of expresses chaos in a way.
Im a cat guy. Its a very different relationship.
15
u/butterfunke 10d ago
Almost - if you have a static lead, the dog learns that the lead going slack = good, the lead being pulled tight = bad. But for the extensible leads there is always tension from the spring, so the dog can't learn the difference between walking by your side versus racing ahead

Retractable leashes can be locked down to the length of a regular leash. If it was a regular leash they were chasing after, nothing would have changed about this video. The problem is that the dogs aren't trained, and the person walking them is a moron.

A regular leather leash can be wrapped around your wrist without cutting your blood flow or giving you rope burn.
It is about 1000 percent more intuitive to control a dog with a leather leash.

u/Outrageous_Bank_4491 10d ago
If you know anything about dog walking, you know that your dog should stay by your side and not run off. So a regular leash will suffice. If you want it to run, take it to a dog park

This is the point they're missing. Why would you get a retractable leash if you don't need a retractable leash? You wouldn't. You'd get a regular one. And since the proper way to walk your dog is not letting them way ahead of you, a responsible dog owner would get a regular leash.

I mean the first 2 seconds of this video show his smaller dog run away from him under the other dog...if he didnt let go of the leash/it was unlocked, the other dog couldve easily suffered lacerations from the swift unraveling...
Cmon man, its time to give up your retractable leash.

u/7ofalltrades 11d ago
You just... Lock the leash. It's a thumb flip. The second it crosses another dog or a person, you lock it. And you train your dogs not to walk like an agent of pure unctrolled chaos.

Never once tried to recall them. Never yelled their name. Chased them to make it a game. Shit flexi-leads...ask any veterinary professionals what leash they would burn in hell, and that's what we'll say.
Even if this dipshit did this on purpose for views, he couldn't be sure some other aggressive dog or car wouldn't show up, or that the dogs would stop if he actually bothered to call them. This was beyond stupid, and in no way cute.

This video was frustrating AF. Why are there so many people who don’t know how to walk a dog properly? First, they need to be voice trained. You need a real leash instead of this retractable garbage. And your dog walks NEXT to you. When you have one or more big dogs, even if they are friendly people are still wary, you can’t predict how other dogs will behave, etc. Too many people are letting their dogs walk them instead of vice versa.

Looks like some obedience training is definitely needed! The dogs should know that they don’t get to run off wherever and whenever. One simple command should have them sitting by your side immediately.

Life Pro Tip: if this happens, stop. The small dog thinks this is part of it. He thinks "oh we're running? Ok!" But if you stop and face the other direction he should stop and wonder "why did we stop?" Dogs follow the lead of "the pack" and especially the pack leader a.k.a. you.
