At DogWatch, it’s our mission to keep dogs safe at home in their yards. So we were definitely intrigued to see Business Insider‘s recent list of the dog breeds most likely to run away from home. The list featured a few usual suspects (hello, hounds!) and some surprises, too. Check out the top 15 below, complete with photos of actual DogWatch customers who overcame their wandering ways and are now safe at home thanks to their DogWatch Hidden Fences!

1. Anatolian Shepherd

2. Bloodhound

3. Great Pyrenees

We love this video Great Pyrenees Hubert and Symone, along with buddy Boswell the Tornjak, safely enjoying their freedom at their Cooperstown, NY home thanks to their DogWatch Hidden Fence from DogWatch of Upstate NY.

NOTE: For large, thick-coated dogs like Great Pyrenees, we recommend using collars fitted with our longer contact posts. DogWatch also strongly recommends that DogWatch receiver collars be removed daily (such as at night when inside) to prevent skin irritation.

Saint Bernard customer from DogFence Ireland
Is there anything cuter than a Saint Bernard puppy? DogWatch’s Dealer in Ireland snapped this photo of an 11 week old puppy a month before she started her hidden fence training back in 2015. We bet she’s MUCH bigger now, but still as cute as ever.
