I've been living with him for two months and basically, his house is our house etc and we all (me, him and my bro) take care of the dog as a result. Occasionally when you let her out back to use the bathroom she will make a bolt for the opening in the corner of the fence and will go off to who knows where. Typically she will come back on her own a few hours later or a neighbor will bring her back, but it's starting to even get on my nerves (my roommate gets pissed at her every time she does it); she could get ran over by a car that may not see her or something one day, for example. I let her outside tonight and go back to check on her five minutes later and she's gone, and it's midnight.

I haven't had a dog in decades so I'm not exactly sure what qualifies as "good" or "bad" punishments for them.
