What TO do and what NOT to do if your dog runs away and doesn't listen

In this tutorial I talk about what to do if you were in a situation where your dog ran away from you and didn’t come back. Now obviously, the solution is to not get into that situation to begin with, by training your dog to reliably be with you off leash and to reliably come when called and not having your dog off leash or in unsafe areas. But I created this video because I often see people suddenly in a situation they have not planned for and do not now what to do, for example, yesterday when I was at the park and a woman was trying to catch her loose dog. What happened, as I explain in the video, is that when she caught her dog she did something that would make the dog less likely to come back to her if the dog were ever to be loose again.

This video doesn't explain what to do to prevent your dog from running away, nor does it explain how to get your dog to listen to you no matter what. This tutorial is for those who find themselves in the situation where their dog is off leash and suddenly not listening to them.
