Need advice on rescuing a dog
I was coming home today and saw a little Dachshund running across the street in rush hour traffic. It's a pretty busy intersection most of the time anyway, so I turned around immediately and pulled into a service station it was at. I got out and tried to get it to come to me. It almost did, but got spooked and took off across the street. I tried to follow it, but I lost it.
My husband is coming home soon and he offered to go back out and look for it with me. It didn't have a collar and looked a little on the thin side.
My question is if we find out, what's the best way of coaxing it to us? I assume treats, but is there anything else I can do?
Re: Need advice on rescuing a dog
The stinkiest treats you have. Or a can of tuna.
If you have a slip collar, that will probably work better than a clip-on collar, if the little guy is scared.
If you don't have a slip lead, you can also use a regular dog leash, looping the clipping-end through the handle loop as a makeshift slip lead.
This works well, we've had to do it a few times when our dog's collars haven't been tight enough (or fault) and they pulled out of their collar outside.
And definitely the stinkiest dog treats/food or pet friendly food you can find! Keep calm and a calm voice so not to spook him and if you can try and coax him to a quieter area, not near the road etc.
