He's 2 years old we got him fixed and he gets lots of exersize. He wont do it when we are in the yard with him but if left alone he is over the fence and into the neighbors yard and several other yards. He is freindly enough but is not trusting of strangers and will growl when approched which is very off putting for the neighbors. No bites yet thank goodness.

You really shouldn't leave any dog outside unsupervised. In addition to getting over the fence, it could also be stolen. Especially if it's a pit bull. He could end up as a bait dog for unscrupulous dog fighters.
If you still feel it necessary to leave him outside unsupervised, instead of shocking him, try the coyote roller:

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/am6Cw
She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Pitbull Jumping Fence

If you want to keep your dog from being put down by the local animal control you need to get it under control. You have two choices one build a bigger fence or two the cheaper route buy a crate and crate him while your gone. No bites yet but that could change if he is frightened. Pits are great dogs with a bad rep. I personally have one. If you want to keep him this is the only way I know how. Good Luck

There is a "collar or leash" s to speak that called a jumpers lash. go to Pet egde .com and the have one...that would be a great help. the only other thing Of is to Heighten your fence. You can even put a privacy fence around your existing fence. I have Dovesand I know the raction people hve to our dogs. YOu kinda gotta potect the dogs from other peope ( well their mind set anyway) LOL Good luck and have fun with them....they can be hard headed...

you could get a shock collar for him. i know it sounds a little harsh but after a few times of being shocked he want try to go over the fence anymore. He'll eventually learn to not go over the fence and you can take the collar off. My dog used to break his chains often and we had to make him wear one for a couple of years to keep him inside the yard. He eventually just stayed in the yard even without his collar on.

Yes, there is a harness that they sell (petsmart) that you can buy. It keeps them from being able to extend or get to the position that allows them to take off the ground. I knew someone that used it for a very jumpy dog (used 5 rows of house chain link fences as hurdles) and it worked wonderfully. Dont think it was too expensive either (like around $10).

How about making the top of the fence curve inward like prisons? Or you could get the invisible fence that you bury and bury it about 3 feet in front of the fence that way he will get a little reinforcement when he approaches the fence. It will also prevent him from digging under the fence.

You might have to try an electric fence for him... or a kennel with a top on it as I would think he could climb up and out.. they are very athletic dogs.
If you have a kennel put slide walls on it as well as a good foundation he can't dig out of...
OR do as I had to finally do.. don't leave him in the yard alone
GOOD LUCK
