First steps if you lose your dog in Gateshead

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward along Watergate Forest Park, about 2.2 miles away, and Jesmond Dene, roughly 1.9 miles off, since a dog can cover a lot of ground in the first hours.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 3

    Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.

    Tip from locals

    Ask dog walkers in Leazes Park, about 1.2 miles away, and Hunter's Moor, roughly 1.9 miles off, to call calmly and watch rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Share it in Pelton, about 6.2 miles south, The Boldons, about 6 miles east, and Wideopen, roughly 5.8 miles north, since a dog may already have reached them.
