Help! I've Lost My Dog!
We are so sorry to hear about the lost dogs.
Here are our recommendations:
Most dogs return to where they got lost or left, so make
sure you have a nice surprise for them when they DO come home (food,
chewy,
praise, toy,
attention) Try to keep an eye out or have an opening for the dogs
where they can return to, possibly back into the fenced yard, their
crate,
a familiar
vehicle, etc.

Put up flyers in the area including a picture of the dog. Talk to
a lot of people - everyone and let them know your dog is missing. This
is to make sure everybody knows the dog is being looked for and
makes it harder for somebody in the area to keep the dog. Their neighbors
might
know the dog is being missed somewhere else. Don't forget the local
groomers and pet stores.
As you have noticed, I sometimes
forward emails about lost dogs over my list. This is a service for
my long term clients mainly. Also, in the past this was
NOT the way how dogs found back home to their owners. So I'd prefer
to wait a little bit before we use this measurement.
