Scooby recently learned he can jump over my fence and although I’ve built barriers he still had managed to either get out or at least keeps trying. Is there any way to stop this bad habit of his? Anyway to make him forget he can jump it?
I highly recommend walking Scooby on a leash to go outside. I would also make sure that Scooby is microchipped. There isn't much you can do to stop him besides this from jumping over the fence. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I love animals but our female dog is annoying. Everytime i come home, she blocks my way, jumps on me and hurts me with her nails and bites me. She is always hyper but in a bad way. Everytime i open our garden's gate, she just gets out of the garden a
It sounds as if you and Tita would benefit from an obedience class together. A basic obedience class would be a great way for you to start instilling some manners, help teach Tita what you like and don't like, and get the two of you bonding so you have a better time together. Looking up positive reinforcement techniques to stop behaviors such as jumping up, barking, and chasing other pets can also help.

My 7 month old puppy just jumped the fence, I'd say it's a bit over a metre high, he didn't yelp or anything and carried on running and playing. Will he be okay?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! He may show soreness or limping once he calms down and the adrenaline wears off. It is a good sign that he continued to run! Likely there isn't any broken bones! If he starts to limo rest him and take him to your Vet if it doesn't improve in a few days. Good luck and have a good day!

Hello mam I have pumerian dog of 7months old He usually want to run from house.. whenever he get chance he run...and never look back when i ran to catch him he saw me and run again .. Please tell me why he is doing this..i am afraid of loosing him..
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. It sounds like Toffee may not know his boundaries well, and assumes he can run everywhere once he's outside. I recommend training him on a leash to show him where his boundaries are. For example, walk him on a leash around the perimeter of your property, and never beyond. You can make him sit at the edge of your property, and give him a treat. Do this at multiple points around your property. Since he has run off before, he may not learn the true edge of his property. The safest thing to do is to take him out on a leash and not let him run freely. He is otherwise at risk of getting lost, or even hit by a vehicle. I hope this is helpful.

How do I get my dog to listen to me outside? With my husband she listens perfectly and can walk beside him without a leash or collar. With me she behaves but as soon as a trigger (a loud car, a dog, a cat, a school bus etc..) she goes crazy and won’t
Using a "watch me" command and a high value treat (something super delicious that Misty really enjoys, like a small amount of hot dog or cheese, that she only gets when she responds to this particular command) can be helpful in these situations See the link below for more information: https://www.embracepetinsurance.com/waterbowl/article/watch-me-command While she is learning, keep her on a training leash to help keep her safe. Don't use a retractable leash, as this could lead to injury when it retracts and does not offer you enough control.
