  • How to stop your dog from playing keep away. Experiencing your dog running away from you and not letting you catch them can be extremely frustrating. This video shows you one technique to incorporate into your training so your dog stops playing keep away from you.
    Why dogs play keep away
    Dogs play keep away for two main reasons.
    1) They simply enjoy it and you have accidently taught them that this is a fun game. This is often the product of chasing your dog for fun.
    2) They think that when they are caught, something bad will happen. This could be many different things and will be unique to the individual dog. Most of the time, they have learned that when you catch them, the fun always ends. This could be leaving a dog park, going inside from outside and then crated, taking something away from them such as a toy or stick. Lots of possible reasons here.
    Tips:
    1) Teach your dog that you catching them is a good thing. Practice grabbing their collar and feeding or grabbing their collar and play fetch or tug. Show them that grabbing their collar does not always mean that you are going to take them away from something
    2) Don’t give your dog a lecture when you catch them.
    3) Begin training your dog to come to you when you call them. Incorporate collar grabs during the recall training.

      mine loves to play keep away, she made a game of it,.. i need to purchase a long line because putting her in a gated basketball field sized area has not helped at all 👍🏼

      check out Michael Ellis, maybe search for him on youtube. there are some very long videos of his actual training course and you need that level of understanding of how dogs think and how best to work with them off that. its worth the look

    My dog steals things and plays keep away. He will chew on them to demand my attention. He chooses dangerous or expensive things. He is very good at it. The glee in his eye is so maddening.

    Great video, thank you. I had a dog sitter once that taught my dog to play keep-away with the ball. I really want to teach drop. She loves to play fetch and will bring the ball back to me for hours. But she puts it on the ground a couple feet in front of me every time 😒. Do you have any suggestions or videos about that?

      Alicia Markoe sit in a chair and don’t throw the ball again until they bring it all the way back.

    Love the training you do. Our 3 1/2 month puppy wonders our yard - which is fine, but he gets items and starts eating. When we try to take away from him, he does the keep away game. It has gotten nuts…. How do I stop him from doing keep away game when we want to see what he has in mouth

      Wish this guy had responded to your question as I have the same problem. I can't keep a long leash on him all the time.

    Do you have any suggestions for this when it’s happening inside? Our puppy likes to confiscate our personal items inside, then play keep away. I’m not sure the long leash will work indoors. We’ve tried a regular leash sns he chewed it off.

      Don't let him chew leashes ever, you can use a regular leash or a humane remote collar to correct it then tell them to lay down

    My dog doesn’t come back in 5 minutes. He literally won’t come back. I’ve practiced the collar touch. He is on a line, but I have a very small yard do it makes it difficult. My dog is a year old, and he can jump over my 6 ft fence in the front yard, and the 6 foot fence in the backyard. Once he hops the fence, he will not come back. He just plays the game. I live by a busy street and I think he will get hit by a car. He’s almost been hit multiple times. I’ve taken him to a 9 week obedience school, but nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Erik

      I would work on trying to make your fence more escape proof. You could try installing coyote rollers or running an electric invisible fence along your fence line.

      @@ernnnnmm you can bury the invisible fence wire along the base of your existing fence. This will keep your dog from going within a few feet of your fence. An invisible fence company can install it for you
