This may seem like such an easy behavior to train but it’s not. Lots of pieces went into getting this behavior. When you have a dog like Benny (poodle mix so very smart) who is very prone to escaping, you have to not only teach them to not bolt through door ways but you also need to teach behaviors in case they do make through. If a dog runs across the road, you don’t necessarily want them coming back to you. You want to be able to tell them down from wherever you are standing and wait for you to come retrieve them.
