Whether they’ve got the scent of something interesting or they’re afraid, some dogs run off the instant you’re not keeping an eye out.

In such situations, it’s best to remain calm and not call after the dog in a panicky voice. That’s because dogs can hear the panic in your voice, and this might only make the frightened animal stay away.
