You can train a dog to do anything it just takes time and a lot of energy. An electrical fence is a good idea, but I doubt that is something four father would want to invest in if he is already ready to give up your guy. As far as jumping on you, you first have to completely ignore him when he does it. If you pat his head or even show the slightest bit of affection he will think that this behavior is acceptable. My dog did this for a while and eventually she got tired of not being greeted back. When I come home I do not pet her or recognize her until she comes and sits calmly. Then she gets ALL the affection she wants. I know it is hard and aggravating, but you just have to work with him. As far as the fence, maybe there is a reason he is doing that. Instead of leaving him outside so long, take him on walks. Leave him outside enough to handle his business and have a little free time, but then call him in. Any additional time outside should maybe be spent on the leash or at a park. Again, I know a lot of extra work, but you said you loved him so I am sure it will be worth it in the end.

It's a hard thing to teach a dog. They are rewarding them self's every time the dog makes it over the fence. First make a routine walk you do everyday at the sometime. This will teach your dog that s/he will get out. Second try electric fencing around your property. People who say it mean think of it this way....... What does your dog like more to have free run of the back yard and once learned they will get shocked if they leave the back yard and now feel in control of the punishment and how to ovoid it.or dog is chained up.

When your dog jumps the fence, do not yell at her bring her back and comand her to stay. Do it three times a day at least gradually extending the time for which she is left.
Of course, one can always use an E collar, but I do not like them if it is short of a life and death situation

Obedience training, more exercise in a wide open area like a dog park, and a higher fence. If you can't keep her from getting out, you shouldn't leave her outside alone.

If you're not into the whole shock thing, I believe they have stuff that you can sprinkle around the fence line that she won't like so she'll stop. Try the pet store...
