A dog's tendency to run can vary with the breed. Some dogs have a natural instinct to run or hunt for game. Beagles are notorious for running off if they pick up a scent. That is their instinct. Siberian Huskies are famous for running because they have a strong prey drive and an instinct to run. In some cases, these types of dogs can be trained to come when off leash. In others it just can't be done. It all depends on how strong the desire to run is in the given dog. These instincts will often be stronger in a younger dog than in an older one.

Then there are other reasons a dog may run away. They could have the urge to mate, particularly if they are not spayed or neutered. Dog's have a good sense of smell and can pick up the scent of a dog of the other gender from the distance. Or, a dog that is hungry or abused may try to get away.
