The most humane, easy, and inexpensive way that I have found is to get a piece of cable and lots of PVC. Run the cable through the PVC so the PVC rolls freely when touched. Attach this contraption to the top of the fence. The dog will be able to get his front paws up, but they will slip off an he won't be able to jump over.
You could also get a shock collar that shocked him for approaching the fence. It would work, but it is not very humane. You could raise the fence, it would work, but it would be expensive. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Install an electric wire at the top of the fence with insulators pointing into the yard. Most feed stores will sell them but it is best to get one designed for dogs since the stock units can be too much of a zap (still won't harm them but why not use less if it works?).

Why is he being left in the back yard? Back Yards are not babysitters. Don't allow him out by himself and crate him inside when you are not with him. He is bored and thinks it is greener on the other side.....and very well could be.
It is your responsibility to keep you dog safe.....
Take him to obedience classes and set a foundation. If necessary, get a jump harnes and that way he can't jump that high....this is only the last resort though.....
Correction works great when you are with him....give him a stern NO the minute he even looks at the wall.....then when he turns away...give him praise.....
This won't work however if you are not watching or the timing is not right.
Good luck

Jump it or climb it....if he climbs in corner put a few broom sticks across it...just plain jumping...how bad u want to get with it...make a smaller 48 in run,and b with himin the 42 part...i have had trouble with this and tie up some and others just let run loose...which is ok in my area...my joke answer is over feed him till he gets too fat to jump.

if you can't control this, than get something called an invisible fence. Whenever the dog goes out of the property, it sets off an alarm or something, and it slightly shocks the dog. (this doesn't hurt the dog THAT much) This trains the dog to stay inside the property.

Here are a few suggestions: put up an extra large dog run that is partially shaded, install a much higher fence, or bring in a professional trainer. Labs are very smar and usually eager to please... Try the trainer first.

I'd say a shock collar, it doesn't hurt them so much to were it's abuse, it's just to teach them a lesson.
