The goal for correcting this problem is to teach the dog that attempting to charge out the door always fails. The Instruction is WAIT, which means, "Wait until I give permission to go."

The Dangerous Door
While holding the leash slack, open the door partway, and tell the dog to WAIT. If the dog gets too close to the door (in your way of exit) close the door quickly without saying anything. We want the dog to think the DOOR is acting on its own, so hold it high and act like you are paying attention to something else entirely.

It is OK if the door hits the dog, as long as it doesn't injure the dog. We want the dog to think, "This is a dangerous door!." If you are too forceful, the dog may develop a phobia about the door. The goal is to make the dog hesitate before running out.

It is okay if the door bumps the dog, as long as it doesn't hurt the dog. We want the dog to think, "This is an unreliable door!." If you are too forceful, the dog may develop a phobia about the door.

Leash Work
A separate approach is using the leash or 10 foot cord. After opening the door and while holding the leash, if the dog attempts to dash, pull back on the leash saying WAIT. Repeat this 20 times or more, until the dog stays back, then praise, "GOOD WAIT! When the dog seems to learn the Instruction, practice on other outside doors.

While working on this Instruction, the dog must wear a leash or 10 ft sturdy line inside the house. This is worn until the escaping problem is considered fully cured. (May take weeks until you are completely convinced the dog is safe around an open door.) If the dog escapes around you, step on the line to be sure the escape never works. Even better is to do a training session around the door twice daily (just before feeding is ideal).
