Dog won't stop jumping fence?

I have used hotwire for years with my toughest escape artists.

I run it along the top of the fence for jumpers, or along the bottom of the fence for diggers.

Most dogs only need to touch it once or twice, and then they never go near it again.

The shock is not harmful - if it were, I would have been dead long ago, because I have touched it, myself, many times over the years. :o)

But it is effective.

You do need to find a way to exercise your dog, though. How about a treadmill, if you are afraid to walk where you live?

Get an invisible fence. We got one made by Guardian. We have a rhodesian ridgeback/greyhound mix (Ratdog) and she used to love to escape but this new fence works great. It is a wire you run along the edge of your yard, or whatever area you want to keep them enclosed in. You dig a small trench about 1 to 3 inches deep and lay the wire in it and cover it up. Then your dog wears a shock collar that will give a warning beep if she gets too close to the boundray wire. If she continues she will get a shock. It will cause pain but no physical damage. Generally within a few days the dog will have a mental map of it's area and will not go close enough to get shocked anymore. Our dog was pretty much trained in a few hours. The wire connects to a control box that you can turn up or down to make the field stronger or weaker depending on how far you want to keep them from the actual boundray. We don't even have a real fence. There is nothing in between our dog and freedom except that little wire that runs underneath the ground. The whole deal was about 100 bucks, (thousands less then a real fence.) Your dog will be able to get all the time and freedom in the yard she wants and you will not have to worry about it getting free. It's a win win situation. Peace.

What breed is she, Is she a hunting breed. If so she has lots of energy and needs a job. Sounds like the shaker can will help also. tape the top. Hide somewhere and when you see her thinking about jumping throw it or shake it. but don't let her see her, You could also do what I call a perimeter walk. keep her on a leash and walk her along the fence. when her face even goes to sniff or look at the fence snap her face towards you you and say NO. Like jerking the leash. when she is walking and ignoring the fence say good girl and pet her. you need to do this without the other dogs around. Maybe even add a foot to your fence. There are trainers that will come to your house and train or assess your dogs and make things run smoother. Dogs like to work and they like to impress. Sounds like you need to get their minds on something else.

I would try a harness on the tie out-she can't choke herself on that. Or add to the top of your fence. Or get an enclosed kennel, one that has a top so she can't get out-I made one out of hog panels (you can get these at Tractor Supply). I have a 70 lb. Boxer and it gave him plenty of room to move around and it was big enough for his house. The panels are 4' X 8' I think, they may be longer. If you're interested, email me for details. I was never crazy about hot-wire/electric fences either.

Yes - one more time, get an electric fence unit that has a radio collar, and install the wire just inside the wood fence.

You'd rather hang your dog or have her hit by a car than have her kept safe by a small harmless buzz??? Sigh...I don't get it.

Get her a full body harness and tether the dog. We do it with our dog.. she likes a wander even after hours of walks lol. She knows her zone and has to "ask" to be let out, ie sitting by the door and when i go to put her on the rope she gives me her paw. Or get new fences?

Sound like she bored. Increase her exercise or take her out for more frequent short walk.

Some tips i learnt from a vet

Try putting stones on the ground where she attempts to jump-Dogs generally don't like the feel of stones under their feet!

It is not too bad if she comes back.

But if you are really concerned just get a long lead that does not reach

past the fence but still gives her enough length to have fun.

an ele fence is not that bad &she will only touch it once & will never go near it again I would rather see her touch the ele fence than get out & get hit & injured or killed or have another dog attack her think about it

put him in a dog show
