Escaping
To some dogs, a fence is just a brief obstacle on the way to adventures in the neighborhood.
- Sterilizing dogs will make them less interested in roaming.
- Since an open gate is the usual escape route, be sure everybody knows that it must be shut securely.
- If your dog is tempted by visual cues, try to block his view with landscaping or solid fencing.
- Making sure your dog is well-exercised and has amusing toys will also help keep him in the yard.
- If you have a persistent climber or digger, consider stringing electric pet fencing along the top or bottom of your fence to deter him.
