How do I keep my dog from jumping over a 6 ft high wooden fence?

Question

The fbackyard fence is wooden privacy fence that the dog either takes a run at and jumps over or runs at and climbs over and we don't want to chain her up because that takes away from her freedom of not being tied up. We keep her in the house while we're at work., but that causes messes to be cleaned up

Answer 1

Well, if she's not reliably house trained, your only other viable option is to crate her when you're at work. And I agree, chaining a dog is never a good idea.

Answer 2

they make a top for a chain link fence. usually they put razor wire on it that bends toward the outside, like a security fence. you could have it turned around where it is bend toward the inside and replace the razor wire with chain link or something that would not harm the dog.you could see if it could be attached to a wooden fence. it would keep the dog from climbing or jumping the fence. a friend of mine had a dog that could climb the fence so she had to put a top along the fence.

Answer 3

Okay, this comes from a dog owner with a mishievious little one that digs her way under everything!!!
Put up an electric fence around the area she goes for. Once the dog realizes that it gets a shock when going for it, it will stop. Or get a shock collar. You have to make it realize, when I jump the fence..bad things happen to me.
Actually after the electic fence was on for a few months, it got turned off, but the little dog never tried it again..(still thinking it was a bad thing!)

Answer 4

Electric shock of any kind can be very dangerous for your dogs health especially when not used correctly. Since you have a digger and a jumper you would want a wooden or plastic fence (plastic planks look like wood). This is more difficult to climb than a chain link. When having it installed you want to dig a trench between the posts and place chicken wire as far down as what you may think your dog may dig. (1' to 2') The same way you would protect the outside edges of a shed or deck from racoons or skunks.

Answer 5

Build a taller fence....... no i am kidding. Plant some bushes in front of the fence so she cant get far enough to jump over. Are there dogs on the other side of the fence, is she fixed? That could pose a problem because she might want to mate!!!!!

Answer 6

Well Get A Higher Fence

Answer 7

you can try spraying the fence down and throw some chili powder on it or plant lemon grass right by the fence and that should stop him that and or take chicken wire and put it all along and across the fence going up and he cant climb it without getting stuck and he cant cause it would raise the height he has to jump.

Answer 8

Keep things from the fense that could be helping her up and over the fence or just get a wired fencing just for her to roam around in that takes up part or most of the yard.

PS. my cousin allen says hi.... lmao (dont ask)

Answer 9

There are regualtions for some places- 6 ft is the highest. Get your pet neutered- it is the top reason for jumping over fences. Or your dog may need lots of exercise. A lot of spitz types need lots of exercise, otherwise they dig or jump over fences

Answer 10

Electric fence. Like North Korea. Learn from Kim Jong Il

Answer 11

Put in an invisible fence. after a while she will get the message in stop even attempting to go near the fence.
