In these instances, do not try to forcibly grab whatever your dog has in its mouth unless it is an emergency. Instead, trade it for a reward of higher value.
Finally, in the event that your dog is ever able to escape from their collar or you drop their leash, you must be sure that they will come back when called. A good way to reinforce your pet’s return is by never punishing them after you call them.
You don’t want to teach your dog that coming back to you will have any negative consequences, or else they will be less likely to do so.
