Escaping

General Information: Dogs may escape for various reasons, including social isolation, as they are social animals and can become lonely or frustrated when left alone for extended periods. Boredom can also prompt them to escape if they lack toys, playmates, or sufficient exercise, especially for active breeds. Separation anxiety may drive dogs to escape as soon as their owner leaves. Fear of loud noises such as thunderstorms, firecrackers, or construction sounds can also cause dogs to flee. Additionally, intact male dogs may escape due to a strong reproductive drive to seek out females. Other behaviors reflecting a strong attachment to their owner can also lead dogs to escape.
