Dog jumping over the fence problem.?

Question

Does anyone know how to keep a Border Collie from jumping over a 4 ft chain link fence. Nothing seems to break him from this. Invisible fence doesn't work.

Answer 1

I have Bloodhounds that can do an 8' privacy fence. Hot wire your fence, top and bottom. Next he'll dig.

Answer 2

You will need to put a fence top on on your existing fence that leans in towards your yard (similar to what you might see at a prison yard). If you have a big yard some other options are: forget the invisible dog fence and install 2 or 3 strands of electrical fence-how ever much you need... There is a new electric fence they make that instead of wire it is somewhat like a ribbon with a copper wire in it and very easy to install.. Alot of hunters and farmers use it to keep deer from eating their crops.. And a deer can jump a 6' fence standing right next to it...no running start.. This seems to work for people trying to keep animals out of an area, so it should keep them in...Also make sure your dog is not digging under the fence, climbing where the corners meet or sqeezing through a section.. if that is the case let me know..

Answer 3

Fence leaners. They are like a cap at the top of your fence, they lean in at a 90 degree angle which prevents the dog from jumping it. Here is a website which describes how to build and install. It says for climbers but it will also work for jumpers because most dogs while they can easily clear a 4 ft fence that is about an inch or two wide can't sail a foot and a half over a four foot fence.

The reason most dogs jump fences is more freedom. I have had the same problem before with a few dogs and they were all trained to not do it. If your fence is 4 feet tall get a line that is about 1o-12 feet long. Attach one end to the the dogs FLAT collar and the other to a cinder block or a similarly heavy item. When the dog jumps the fence the other end of the leash will stay in the yard because of the item attached to it. No, the dog will be fine and get good exercise by pulling something heavy behind him. The minute you find him on the opposite side of the fence, you will need to have a "forehead to forehead discussion" with him about it. It took 3 tries with my dog and he was cured. The above method is listed in a book written by William Koehler, one of the greatest trainers ever. I know that his methods are a little "outdated" or "harsh" for most people today, but, they work. I have used many of his ideas with my own dogs and can testify as to their effectiveness. Good luck.

4 ft isnt enough for any border collie - i had a staffy that was jumping a 5ft fence from a sitting position... i renamed him Houdini.

border collies can jump pretty high. You will need to increase the height of the fence. If you only want to increase it a foot, put a roll bar on top of the fence as well...

just stretch a length or wire along the fence and put some plastic tubing (like they use for plumping) on it so that it is free to roll around....
when he tries to jump, he will slip on this and fall back into the yard.
After a few days he will realise he cant jump out..

you can also attach an extra part of the fence to the top of your existing fence that leans inwards for about a foot, 30 degrees and he will not be able to jump it.


however.... if he doesnt get enough room in the back yard, he will probably develop other bad behaviours such as digging or ripping up the garden.

a border collie is a working dog.. they really need a LOT of exercise (more than almost all other breeds) and a heap of toys. if he is in a normal sized back yard, this isnt enough and could be contributing to him wanting to escape.

Answer 6

fIf he is jumping in a particular spot you can place items outside the fence...he will know that if he jumps he will be jumping on the outside items. You can put things around the inside of the fence, if he cant get close he cant jump. So, I guess this all means that if you can keep him back a couple of feet from the fence, he shouldnt be able to make it over. You can dig down on the inside of the fence, therefore making the fence taller. I think that after a while you can remove the items by the fence and see if he starts jumping again. You might consider adding some height to the fence by attaching a pole to the fence posts that extends above the fence and then running a rope twine, etc all the way around in a couple of different heights. Good Luck.

Answer 9

A 4ft fence isn't very high for most medium sized dogs. They can scale it easily. You probably need to replace it with a higher fence or put the dog in a kennel outside.

Answer 10

I would respectfully suggest you read a couple of books and watch some videos on raising and training dogs. Also, I recommend two TV shows, "The Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Millan on the National Geographic Channel, and "It's Me or the Dog," with Victoria Stillwell, on Animal Planet. Both programs are very instructive and often deal with the issues you raise here. Good luck!
