Wont come

Question
My dog Aussie will somehow get off her chain and will run away. Then she won't come to me when I call her. Now the part that doesn't make sense is when she is on the chain or in the house she will listen. And I don't know how to fix it.

Answer
She is a Siberian Husky, she won't listen off the chain. Just rattle a bag of treats and draw her in. Not listening when free is just part of being a Siberian. You can't fix this, just fence in a area and make it harder for her to escape, that is all you can do. You can also take her for walks so she gets exercise and I am sure she gets bored out there all alone, with nothing to do. You bought yourself one smart animal, to smart to sit on a chain all day doing nothing. Stimulate her mind.

Quote from the Siberian Husky Club of America
"Of all the shortcomings to be found in Siberians, the most dangerous to the pet owner is their tremendous desire to RUN. But the very first dash that a puppy makes across the road could be his last run, anywhere. A Siberian, for his own protection, should be kept confined or under control at all times. If you are one of those people who think it is cruel to kennel a dog, or keep him confined in his own backyard . . . don't buy a Siberian."

They say this because once a Husky gets loose, it is very hard to get a hold of them again. This is why all my dogs are indoors and why I have 6 ft tall fence around my house (in case they sneak out the door without me knowing it My entire property is surrounded by fence.)

Here is a Quote from the Siberian Husky Rescue Site.
"Not Quite Obedient
               Given proper training, the Siberian should be able to obey simple commands and act quite respectable--most of the time.
               Now we come to serious obedience training and the Siberian--something that non-Siberian obedience people call a contradiction in terms. This is an exaggeration, for the Siberian has the ability to perform admirably, and many have. As a breed, however, they do not excel in this area, and anyone wanting a dog solely for obedience work should not consider the Siberian.
   Siberian people who do pursue obedience titles tend to maintain a philosophical attitude towards the whole training process--perhaps because they, like their dogs, tend to be gregarious and well-behaved, but not always obedient enough for some"
