I've kept calm during this because I know he most likly wasn't trained enough when he was young. When he bolts I just let him go and wait for him to calm down. He dosen't leave the yard so I just wait awhile and then he will want to come in. I'll get a long cord and try that untill he comes on command and then try the ecollar. I thought I better not use the ecollar right away until he comes when called.
