Running away

Question
We rescued are GSD from going to the RSPCA, she is an abselute gorgeous dog, only two problems when we are out walking her we can not let her of her lead as she doesnt come back to us, she just seems to want to run forever. Also if we let her in the garden she jumps the fence, runs down the street, no matter how much we call her she just carries on.
When we finally get her after she has run of, she crawls to us on her belly, do you think this can be because she has been ill treated..


Answer
HI LESLEY

MOST CERTAINLY THIS DOG HAS BEEN BADLY MISTREATED, THIS IS WHY IT IS RUNNING.  MOST LIKELY IT DID NOT GET ENOUGH EXERCISE BEFORE WITH PEOPLE, SO WHEN LEFT OUT IT WOULD TAKE A TRIP AND GOT BEATEN WHEN RETURNING.  THIS IS WHY THEY PUT IT FOR ADOPTION.   PEOPLE GET PUPPIES AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RAISE THEM.  THEY NEED TO LEARN RIGHT FROM WRONG WITH POSITIVE TRAINING, NOT NEGATIVE WAYS.
THIS POOR DOG LIKES TO EXERCISE ALOT, HAS ALOT OF DRIVE BREEDERS LIKE ME CALL THIS SO IT RUNS AND COMES BACK TO GET MISTREATED BADLY, SO IT COWERS ON ITS BELLY PRAYING NOT TO BE HIT OR KICKED OR GOD KNOWS WHAT.??
WHAT TO DO IS TREAT THIS DOG FIRMLY WITH POSITIVE COMMANDS, BUT TONS OF LOVE AND HUGS.  IT MUST GAIN FAITH IN YOUR AND CONFIDENCE TO LISTEN AND IT WILL WITH TIME AND PATIENCE.
NOW, U MIGHT WANT TO GET A SHOCK COLLAR AT WWW.DRSFOSTERSMITH.COM.  I HAD TO USE THIS YEARS BACK IN STARTING MY WEST GERMAN LINES WITH HIGH DRIVE.  THEY RUN ABOUT 140.00 BUT THE MOST HUMANE AND FASTEST WAY TO CORRECT A BAD SITUATION.  IT IS NOT ELECTRIC BUT RUN BY BATTERIES, IT GIVES A STING WHEN THE DOG DOES WRONG.  IT HAS A REMOTE, WHEN IT GOES TO JUMP THE FENCE LAY THE HARDEST ONE ON IT AND LET GO WHEN U SEE IT SHOCKED.  THEN CALL THE DOG AND PITY IT AND LOVE IT.  IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW THE PAIN CAME ONLY NOT TO TRY AND JUMP AGAIN AND IT MIGHT ONE MORE TIME, DO THE SAME AND TRUST ME IT WILL NOT JUMP THE FENCE EVER.
I HAD TO DO THIS TO MY FIRST GERMAN MALE OF ONE YEAR FROM GERMANY, HE KNEW NO ENGLISH AND KEPT GOING OUT THE GATE AND UP THE FENCE HUNTING GERTI THE LADY I BOUGHT HIM FROM IN GERMANY.  I HAD TO SHOCK HIM ONE TIME AND HE NEVER GOES NEAR THE GATE.
WHEN IT TRIES TO RUN DO THE SAME, IT MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE TIMES UNTIL IT FINDS IT IS NO FUN TAKING OFF, THAT YOUR GOING TO LOVE IT AND TAKE IT FOR WALKS OR RUNS IN A FIELD AND IT MUST LISTEN OR GET STUNG.
IT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE IN TRAINING RATHER THAN MISTREATMENT OF HARSH THINGS I WILL NOT DO.  WE LIVE NEAR A MUCH TRAVELED ROAD AND IT HAS SAVED A COUPLE YOUNG PUPS THAT HAD TO LEARN TO STAY WITH THE PACK BACK ON THE ACREAS HERE WITH ME.

IF U HAVE ANY FURTHR QUESTIONS, GO TO MY SITE AND CLICK ON MY EMAIL AND I CAN DIRECT U IN THE USAGE OF IT.  IT MUST BE ON TIGHT SO THE PRONGS TOUCH THE SKIN THROUGH THE HAIR.
DO NOT LEAVE IT LONG, JUST DURING TRAINING TO STOP ITS BAD HABITS AND LEARNS TO LISTEN TO COMMANDS.  DO NOT SHOCK THEN CALL THE DOG IMMEDIATELY, WAIT FEW SECONDS TILL U SEE IT KINDA YELP OR MOVE IN PAIN, THEN CALL AND PITY HER AND LOVE HER, SHE KNOWS THEN TO COME TO U FOR HELP AND TO LEARN TO LISTEN AND BE A GOOD DOG.  IT WORKS!!

WARM REGARDS
