Any dog can become a runaway. Many wandering dogs have a good chance of meandering back home fairly soon after leaving, but runaway dogs, especially those running in a panic, have a poor chance of returning on their own. The panicked dog's first instinct is to simply run as fast and as far as he can.

Some dogs come back when they run away simply for the reason that there is a good reason for them to come home. ... Various things such as verbal cues, dog treats, and games can be used as rewards when he does a good job. Doing so will make him want to repeat his good behaviour and prevent him from running away.
