How do you get your dog to stay in your own yard?

We live in the country and we already had one dog and it got ran over.I was really sad and i don't want this to happen to my dog jake ! Like our old dog jessie. he likes to wonder to the neighbors house to play with there dogs and we tried punishing him and putting him on his leash inside when were gone.

It doesn't seem to work though, and I'm getting really scared of him getting ran over like jessie. Its an easy ten points! Please help me !!!~~~How do you get your dog to stay in your own yard?
Without either confining your dog and/or training them you cannot stop this from happening.



A word of note, if your dog has not been neutered it will be much more difficult to control wandering behavior. Intact male dogs will go to amazing lengths to wander since their instincts drive them to go in search of females to mate with and mark their territories.



You can confine your dog in a kennel or fenced area when you are not home and when you are with him train him to understand boundaries. Some people use ';invisible fences'; that shock dogs but often a dog (if the reward means more to them than the shock) have still been known to go through them.



Training always helps to solidify your control so if you haven't done training I suggest you go the the association of pet dog trainer's site and look up a trainer in your area.How do you get your dog to stay in your own yard?
train the dog teaach him
Your dog shouldn't be allowed out unless there is a secure fence all round. It's just common sense really.
A fence.

Supervision.

A leash.
Keep him on a leash,
throw a bone in a cage then shut it and it will train him to know to wait in the yard for the bone
-What about a really big kennel outside for then he is outside alone? Or, you could do the invisible fence thing. There is no way to train him to never leave the yard, and this is dangerous- as you have already experienced!
train the dog, electric fence, and maybe a fence because they can not jump over it.
shock collars work vey well, i use them on my dogs, they only get shocked like once then run back and try not to go out of the area again. its very simple to train them with it, you just buy a set of it, put flags where you dont want them to pass and after like a week or so you take away the flags
Either put up a fence or tie it with a leash to a pole or other object that will anchor him to the ground away from the street.



Yes, this is the simplest way to keep a dog out of the street. A fence is by far the most effective.
Fence your back yard so he can't get out, provided its large enough for him, humane environment.
Use a fence. There are leash laws in some places, even here where I am in the country. Prevention is how you don't get a dog run over. If there are other dogs maybe you could take your over there on a leash for a play date.Don't leave your dog on a leash in the house.
A fence is really your best answer, when you are not watching him. You can also try an E- Collar.
FENCE.



Build one.



Tying out is not secure and as you know does not always work.



And you do know you can be held liable for the damages to a car as a result of not keeping your animal under your control right?
