Stop dog jumping fence?
How can I stop my dog jumping the fence? She is a husky x German Shepard, but the runt so she's only a medium sized dog. She hasn't always jumped the fence, she's a year old and it only started about 3-4 months ago. We started off by covering the bottom of the fence so she couldn't just walk through the wires, once that was done she started jumping the fence when there were people out the front or someone walking a dog. We then covered the entire fence with chicken wire (we are really limited because its not our house and the owners said they don't mind what we do as long as it doesn't look dodgey or stupid) she is still jumping the fence. We got her desexed 2 weeks ago, and surely enough that did nothing and she still jumps the fence. I need idea on what to do? If I see her running towards the fence ill yell out to her but she just looks at me then jumps it. I can't do the wire on an angle thing either. Any suggestions please help

Stop leaving the dog outside for one
Take the dog outside on a leash
Huskies are fence jumpers, you would know this if you had bothered to do any research before getting the dog. And they need an insane amount of mental stimulation and need to run for miles each day

You have a fence jumper. Once a fence jumper, always a fence jumper.
Because you already have a real fence, it would be useless to put in an electric fence. The dog would be getting shocked as it was sailing over the fence, so how does that keep the dog in?
You will need to rely on tie outs. A skyline would be ideal, as it will enable your dog to run around, but not get near the fence.

An easy solution, I'd say, is just getting a taller fence. Although... That might not be so easy, considering Shepards are known for their agility (etc)
Maybe start training her to stay in the yard by using a lease? Then she'll be less likely to try and jump it later on after she's been well trained not to :)

Hey there,
One good way of stopping unwanted dog behaviours is attending a traning course. You'll learn the causes and some techniques to solve all your problems with your furry friend. A good online course you can follow is: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=572
Their method is gentle, simple and most importantly effective. I recommend it.
Hope it helps.

how tall is the fence? You might just have to leash her when she is out there. Is she outside all day?

Try getting a long leash. OR..
There is a thing that zaps them when they leave your property
