My friends 8 mth old dog keeps running off every chance she gets.any advice please?he walks her regularly?

Your friend needs to take her dog into an enclosed area (garden ideal) in her pocket should be fresh meat (possibly chicken) she needs to offer the dog some out of her pocket , then walk a few steps backwards, call the dog, if he comes offer another treat. She should practise this daily and always carry a treat when she walks him and offer a treat if he responds appropriately. If the dog runs away the worse thing she should do is chase him - he will think this is a fine game. She should turn her back on him and slowly walk away(this is best practised in enclosed environment to start with). If she persists the dog will learn that favourable behaviour is rewarded (Pavlov's bells) non favourable behaviour is ignored. Hope this helps
