THIS USUALLY WORKS....please read ort about survival mode... how to rescue a lost dog or your dog when you find him/her. Some other things you can try when you find your or someone's furbaby that has be lost. After a little while your own furbaby may not know you or come to you when lost. Never chase. Always get as low as you can and don't call them by name!!. Remember they are in survival/flight mode. Very important to read: Understanding survival mode in dogs lost.. https://holidaybarn.com/blog/dog-survival-mode/ Have a crinkly bag like a potato chip bag or some treats (keep it in your car, it just needs to make noise when you crinkle it) .. When you see a stray dog, get out of your car and watch the dog out of the corner of your eye. Start crinkling the bag and start saying very loudly “YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!” as you act are dropping the food onto the ground. (Smelly hamburger works great too) Kneel down and start acting like you’re picking up pieces that you dropped on the ground In many cases, the dog will have stopped and will be watching you because you are no longer using that “Come here!” voice. You are using the universal language (yummy, yummy) of food, and you are kneeling down and not a threat. Also, you are not going to the dog, but many times, the dog will come to you! Slow and easy no quick moves I hope this helps!! 💘
