how can i keep my dogs in my fence without chains?

Question

I gots 3 dogs two females jump over the fence they're only about 11" tall small dogs my fence is four feet tall they won't stay in the yard so i have to put collars a nd chains on them they always tangle up the chains too i saw a shock collar invisible fence thing but its expensive i want a cheap good fix thanx yos

Answer 1

Build a fully enclosed dog run (With a top) so they can't get out of it. It's either that or put in a taller fence!.

Answer 2

I'm wondering the breed and why they are wanting out? Is there shade somewhere in the yard at all hours? Plenty fresh water at all times? Human contact each day? Are they fed at the same time each day? Do the females try to leave other times than just during their season? Hunting breeds and some terriers can be hard to contain in a fenced yard. Other than raising the fence to 5 feet or buying or building a hurricane run (this will need to be secured in concrete to prevent burrowing under) I don't have a solution. Maybe for a last resort put a shock collar on them and give them a quick hit each time they start to climb. I detest the idea of a shock collar but if its the only thing that will save a life then I'd probably do it.

Answer 3

Newer collars do not electrocute the dog but give a mild stimulation "static shock" just as if you rubbed your feet on the carpet. this is regulated by you or is progressive as the dog nears the no go zone. You have to weigh the options do you own the home will the owner allow you to make changes to the existing fence? etc. before everyone gets all upset i am not advocating electric fences nor do I use one i have an 8 foot privacy fence with 2 foot chain link buried under ground. but if there was a possiblity my dog could get out in the street and get ran over I would have to at least consider the invisible fence. but I really like the wire fence thing tilting towards your yard it is certainly a great idea.

Answer 4

In against shock collars and fences after i had a run in with a fence, didn't feel too good. Try buying sturdy wire and poles to extend the height of your fence , attach the longer poles(or metal rodes or wood boarding) to the existing poles to your fence and then staple, nail or tie the fencing on. Better than a shock,

They also have run lines. each dog can have there own lane and on week ends you can sell tickets for a race, lol. J/K

Answer 5

Unfortunately, just about any dog with a healthy prey drive is not going to be deterred by a four-foot fence. Especially now that she knows she can jump over it, she will keep doing it. For now, you're going to have to be with her when she's in the yard, and she's going to have to be on leash. Especially since she's a pittie and we live in a sue-happy society, if she gets loose and so much as sneezes on a person, you know you'll have a lawsuit on your hands! So leashed/supervised time outside. Spaying CAN help cut down on the desire to roam, get that done ASAP. And start comparing costs on the different types of six-foot fences.

Answer 6

try putting up a break away fence at the top.

Use chicken wire and attatch it to the top of the existing fence but don't fasten it down too good, so that when the dogs hit the top the chichen wire will not hold their weight and they will just tumble back into their yard.

2 ft. wide wire fence should do it.

Answer 7

try putting a small fence on top of your fence that tilts in toward the yard. i looks like the ones that business use to keep people out only facing the other way. you can use chicken wire and wood that does not cost a lot.. or put a hot wire on top of the fence.

Answer 8

no!!!never get anything that shocks ur dog u might kill it!!!ok well for the answer.
well make a 2 big dogs houses but i recomder not to let them sleep outside they might run away! when u have the houses
made, try to get there atention with a play to yor a HUGE PILE OF BONES! put the bones and the toy in the dog house and use it as a play house. try to get them to chew on there bones. try to get them to do something didfrent. keep them occupied with the bones.
if that does not work u need to take a long walk with ur dog, feed it right,dont yell at ot or be mad or angry at it.if u scold ur dogs that might be the reason they are trying to get away.if the do something bad just say no in a firm voice.

Answer 9

get a gate that's tall so they wont jump over it. if they still go through the gate put lots of mesh around the gate. u have to put it left to right going through the gate. dont put electric collars on ur dogs, its animal cruelty. it hurts them a lot.

Answer 10

Make the fence higher.
