[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 519695, member: 1233"] Get walkie talkies. They come iwth about a 2 mile range. If he is out, he has to have it with him (they are not as big and clunky and heavy as they used to be). The dog collar was a 2 way walkie talky that allowed you to talk to your dog and hear what was going on around your dog so that you could more easily train him (It had a walky talky for you to use as well as the collar). That should be enough to let you get a hold of J and tell him to come home now or anything else you need, plus for him to call you if he is hurt or something happens. in my opinion the wandering is pretty common for a 5yo but it isn't acceptable and there should be a pretty stiff consequence, like having to stay with you and not go out of sight for a week or two until he EARNS the trust to go out of your sight. This means no going out to play with other kids where you can't see him during this time. That is a freedom that is unsafe if he is not going to be responsible, and this is a way to let him see that he has to EARN trust if he breaks it by wandering off. [/QUOTE]
