When a dog goes missing, panic often leads owners to make decisions that unintentionally make the situation worse. Shouting, chasing, and sending out large search groups can push a frightened dog further away. The first 1–3 hours are critical, and having a calm, informed plan can make all the difference. Understanding what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.
