10 Puppies That Require Extra Supervision Outdoors

Some puppies are born energetic and always ready to roam. Even with training and exercise, their instinct to explore remains strong. If you’re wondering which breeds made it to the list and if yours is on it, keep reading.

Siberian Husky 

Huskies are independent and naturally curious. Their strong desire to roam keeps them constantly on the move. If given the chance, they’ll chase excitement far beyond the yard. So, to prevent that, provide daily exercise and have a secure fence.

Treeing Walker Coonhound

This breed is driven by its sense of smell. Once it catches an interesting scent, the puppy will follow it to the very ends of the earth, if allowed. Hunting instincts turn them into skilled escape artists. While training does help, these dogs just have a natural drive to track and explore.

Jack Russell Terrier

Jack Russells are full of energy and courage. Despite being small, they’re always ready to chase. With such strong legs, these puppies can jump fences and dig under barriers in no time. Beware because they are also known to be able to jump five feet above.

German Shepherd

German Shepherds have strong protective instincts and are naturally alert. They often roam to monitor their surroundings, and their intelligence and independence can make them prone to wandering. Obedience training and structured activities help keep these puppies focused.

Beagle

A Beagle’s nose works like radar, drawing them to anything that smells intriguing. Curiosity leads them to follow scents without considering where they’re going. Because beagles have high energy and strong instincts, they’re restless and prone to running away.

Border Collie

Border Collies invent challenges when bored, and they even surprise their owners. Driven by strong herding instincts, they love chasing moving objects. They are restless dogs who run away by digging or opening gates if not properly stimulated.

Vizsla

Vizslas are energetic athletes who thrive on movement and adventure. This breed requires at least two hours of exercise daily to stay happy and healthy. Engaging these puppies in outdoor play tires them out enough so they won’t want to run off.

Australian Shepherd

Known for incredible stamina and herding instincts, this breed loves to stay active. When bored, it’s not uncommon for these puppies to invent their own project that requires them to escape to the outdoors. Australian Shepherd? More like a curious cat.

Labrador Retriever

Labs are friendly and curious, always eager to explore new places. They will follow scents or sounds without hesitation. It’s their social nature that drives them to chase after excitement. Regular exercise can help curb this adventurous spirit, but they’ll always want to roam.

Dalmatian

Naturally playful and energetic, Dalmatians are always ready to run when something catches their attention. As they are an energetic breed, they thrive on interactive outdoor activities like agility training and long-distance running.
