It's distressing when your Teddy Bear dog (also known as a Poodle or Toy Poodle) runs off and doesn't return. Several factors can contribute to this, including falling into the hands of dog traders, getting lost, being driven by mating instincts, or lacking a sense of 'home.' Responsible pet ownership means taking precautions to prevent your Teddy from running away. Always use a leash when walking your dog outdoors to keep it safe.
Reasons Why Your Teddy May Not Come Back
1. Encountering Dog Traders
If your Teddy Bear dog has run away and not returned, one possibility is that it has been captured by dog traders. Unfortunately, whether it's a Teddy or any other breed, once they are caught, they rarely escape, even if they know their way home. They may even end up in the illegal meat trade.
2. Getting Lost
While Teddy Bear dogs are known for their intelligence, most live in complex urban environments. If a Teddy runs away, it can easily become disoriented and lost in the maze of buildings. Even if it wants to return home, it may not be able to find its way back.
3. Mating Season
If your Teddy is in heat, it may have followed the scent of another dog, leading it far away and causing it to lose its way. This is a strong instinct that can make them disregard their surroundings.
4. Lacking a Sense of "Home"
If a Teddy has just joined a new family or hasn't yet formed a strong bond with its owner, it may not recognize the house as its "home". If it runs out to play, it might not have the motivation to return. To ensure your Teddy comes home on its own, you need to build a strong relationship. Regularly offer treats and affection to foster a sense of trust and dependency, so it will always want to return to you and its home.Follow us for updates:Pet Training
