My four year old son let our Sam out today. It was chaotic trying to get her back as she just bolted out the front door and ran. I was panicked that she would get run over or something. Lucky for us she didn't ! Sam only bolts when my son is on his own with her, and he tries to go outside, she will push past him and run like their was no tomorrow!. probably cos' he is the youngest and smallest! pecking order huh? Anyway,she won't run and will stay on command with me or older children just my four year old. How do I change this behaviour? teach Sam that just because I am not there she can't bolt out the door? She didn't come back when called either. Obviously more training needed here I think! Any training tips for this situation would be helpful thanks.
P.s She gets lots of exercise and outdoor play, it's not that she is pining to go out and play!!!!!
