What is the Best Way to Stop Your Dog from Slipping Out the Back Gate, or to Catch It When It Does?
If your dog wanders out undetected, it will probably amble up the street, sniffing at scents along th eway. A 
greater danger will occur if you see the dog heading off and shout at it, because it may respond by dashing away across the street. Place particular emphasis on teaching your dog to stay when instructed, and always remain calm and still while calling your dog back to you. The safest option for small dog is to fix a secondary barrier on the inner side of the gate. Although you will need to step over this, it will prevent your dog from escaping.
