Well since the middle of summer or so Gracie has been allowed out in the front yard with no leash. If she wonders to far we call her and she comes running to us. Well for the 3rd time she has run off to chase a cat. The first time when we called her she ran right back. The second time, we had to call her twice. Well today, I turned my back for a half a second and she was gone. Hubby, my brother and me both stood on our property line and yelled for her. She did come back with out a problem, after we called her 3 or 4 times total. So she has lost her rights to go out front without a leash from now on. If I can't trust her to stick on the property then she will not be allowed out there. Does that make sense?
She ran into our neighbors yard the last 2 times. So to make matters worse is they don't like Gracie. They keep saying that she is a ugly screwed up looking dog. So I know these people will call the cops or the ASPCA around us and report us for this. So now I am afraid I am going to have someone knocking on my door to talk to me about her and her running to the neighbors. I already know that they wont take her away since it will be our "first" offense.
Yes I admit. I should have stopped her the first time, not the third. But I have worked so hard on training her and her recalls which I thought were getting better. So now she is done! Three strikes and your out pretty much. So from now on she is only allowed in the fenced in area when going outside. She would go out front with us several times a day and now she can't at all.
Sorry for the long post I just had to rant...
