[QUOTE="Christy, post: 175757, member: 225"] Good Advice Everyone. Yes, we will stick with the plan but at this point I don't think it is likely to work. We talked about things the next day and that's how we knew that he wanted to ride in the tow truck so badly. We also got the standard line about how he was angry. he won't do it again, he was on his way home, etc... Meow, I very much agree with you on one level and husband and I had discussed it before hand and decided that the next time difficult child ran in the neighborhood we'd let him go figuring he'd return on his own. I'd like to be able to do that but, this time it got dark and I got too scared. I am also concerened because difficult child is impulsive and doesn't always and look both ways. He is not very street smart even though we have discuss stranger danger, etc.. If a guy offered him chocolate he'd be all over it unforunately. :( All this being said, I also agree with what you , nothing will work except possibly maturity or the drama wearing off. Then, I found out that while he was in the neighborhood he let two dogs out of their fenced yards. Why, I asked? He said that he wanted to play with them. (From what I gather the owners came out and got the dogs.) What did the owners say to you, I asked. He said he doesn't remember. We talked about all the reasons this was unsafe for the dog, for him, and the fact that is was against the law. He nodded in agreement. What would happen if someone let Barkley (our dog) out of the back fence? I would hit him with a stick he replied. So the owner should have hit you? I asked him.
