does anyone here know anything about how to control dogs? i'm in a situation where we moved to the country with 2 dogs that are used to the suburbs. at our last house we didn't have a fence but all the neighbors did so it sorta boxed our yard in a little bit though not completely. and so we could use that as a buffer to let the dogs go there and basically keep an eye on them and yell at them if they tried to wander off and it was easy cause they were fenced in on three sides. now there's no fences, no limits and if we let them out for even a second they run all over the place and wander off.

so basically i got a 25 ft chain with a post and if they want to go outside they have to be chained or else they'll run all over the place. thing is i know there are dogs that you can just let outside and they're fine. but i don't know how to do that. my dogs seem to have figured out that if they run off they'll get yelled at and that's about it so it's worth it in the end for them.
