Hello,
Whatever you decide don't TIE him up inside the fence, unless you are absolutely positive that he cannot even remotely get close enough to the fence to try and jump over with the rope/chain still attatched. My idiot mother and step-father made this devestating mistake many years ago. They found our beautiful Roxy hung over the fence. My stomach still gets into knots. My eyes still start to burn and tear up. I will never understand their lack of for thought and concern for the safety of the family dog.
I would recommend an underground pet fence system. I know of many and they do work on the most escape motivated dogs. I would only caution that you check the system and installer with references - there are less than good people selling and installing. The fence must be installed 100% correctly.
If you dog is not neutered - then neuter him.
Good Luck
Barbara

We do not have a fence int he backyard, but like to have our dogs outside to play with the kids. One thing we did was purchase shock collars for the dogs. The type we bought did NOT have a handheld control, instead it has a reciever box that you set the distance you want the dog to be able to roam. For instance, you can set it to where the dog only has access to the backyard, or you can set it to where the dog has access to the front and backyard.
the one thing I really like about these collars is that the collar itself will beep two or three times before the collar shocks the dog. We have the collars set to shock on the lowest setting (I think there are three or five strenghts. This allows for the dog to get a small jolt without too much pain.
Although I thought these were the most inhumane thing in the world, after watching my neighbor's dog be ran over for running in the street (following their little boy across the road) I have come to appreciate the piece of mind knowing the dogs and children can play without fear of the dogs leaving the yard.
It only took one time for each of our dogs to hit the line before they knew what the beeps meant. Now if they hear the beeps, they will run back to the center of the yard to avoid the shock.
The brand we purchased wasPetSafe.

you can get an attachment to the fence that curves in on the property and its impossible (almost) for the dog to jump over it depending on how low the fence is.

Call Humane Society or a regional puppy rescue institution! Report her!!!!! Don't allow her escape with treating animals wrongly!! Don't mess with the fence even though. You might get into a few situation for that, particularly if the puppy breaks by way of and assaults you, you then attempt to take her to courtroom for it.

You can get a no jump harness for the dog this may keep him from jumping as it restricts the legs as the dog jumps

Electronic Fences and electronic collars do the job.
