We have a fence, a shock colar and another dog to play with but my other dog keeps escaping. She refuses to go near her escape places when I am with her trying to train her on the choke collar and shock collar (which beeps and shocks) but as soon as I leave for work, she climbs the fence and is gone to explore the neighborhood. What can I do?

My dog had the same problems. We had put up an 8 foot feance and she was still escapeing, suprisingly what stoped her was lattace work. We lined the top of our fence with two foot lattace work and she stopped. We think cause its wobbly and intimadated her, but it worked.

Since she has learned this behavior of climbing the fence gives her freedom, it's very unlikely you will ever teach her to not go over the fence. Dogs do what works, and climbing the fence works for her. So, either keep her in the house or build or buy a covered dog run to put in the yard. Just be sure there's shade available all day in the run. And if she is also a digger, you may need to have a concrete floor.

Electric fencing. They learn that the fence 'bites' and leave it alone. One around the top and one around the bottom also. you can leave the charger unplugged or return it to the person you borrowed it from--usually they don't challenge it any more. If you get a new dog, or this one starts trying to cross the fence, then it needs to be plugged it again. Do the fencing right the first time and you shouldn't have to ever mess with it again. (Instructions usually in the box the charger came in.) The chargers just disconnect from it. They can be household current or solar. Good Luck! Oh hey-put up a sign warning people the fence is electrified!

First of all, make sure there are no holes in your fence. She won't go to her escape places because she knows what you're going to do - she's a smart cookie. Once the fence is secure, you can supervise your dogs' outside time.
Keep your dogs inside! There are plenty of toys (Kongs, treat dispensers) that will provide mental stimulation for them. Like I said, your dog is smart, and just like smart kids, smart dogs can get in trouble from being bored.
Punishment is only effective ONCE, if you have to keep repeating it, it didn't work and it's borderline cruel.
And never be afraid to call a trainer in your area and ask for advice.

I had an English setter... beautiful animal and so sweet... who did that. She also had many toys and another dog for company. We tried putting her on a long lead durung the day, but she would just get all tangled up. We worked and worked with her. One day she climbed the fence and was hit by a car. I think some dogs are just roamers. I now know that she was one. I would get a trainer to come work with her. I know how frustrated you are.

Maybe you can train your dog to NOT jump over the fence. If that doesn't work, which I'm sure it's not your best idea, maybe put in higher fences so that the dog will not be able to jump the fence.

seems he needs some more beneficial practise. First,he needs to draw close that loud noises are not to any extent further a nasty difficulty, possibly a recording or action picture with fireworks in it, basically be particular all entrances/ exits (together with residing house windows) are safeguard earlier you play them; 2d, till he learns no longer to leave the backyard, someone ought to observe him at the same time as he's outdoors. Get an empty can (one which greens are available in) ensure you keep the properly because you'll choose it; wash it out and fill it about a third of the can w/ pennies or metallic washers (ideally not one of the little tiny ones); positioned the properly on the can and seal it with duct tape so not one of the contents fall out. Shake it some cases, if this is fairly loud, sturdy, because it truly is what you favor. The can will be used as a device to get his interest. whenever you seize him digging close to the fence (or something else he's not meant to do), shake the can, close to to him in case you may, and tell him "NO!" If UR too far away, throw the can in his on the spot region, do not hit him w/ it basically throw it close to him, so it distracts him, and yell "NO!" do not overlook to praise him for issues he does ideal, although! After awhile he ought to get the conception. once you've been utilising treats, keep up the constructive reinforcement.wish this helps.

I would suggest keeping your dogs inside. In my opinion, dogs shouldnt be left outside all day.. but, if you are going to leave them outside I would suggest putting her on a run. Make sure that she can get to shelter, food and water and make sure that the run is long enough for her to have plenty of room to run around. Good luck! : )
