How do you get a dog to stop jumping fences?
I have 3 dogs here and one decides it is better to jump fences and be on the opposite side of the fence. The problem is that whn he jumps the other two jump with him. The other two dogs wont jump unless the first jumps.
they dont go far at all, just sit in the neighbors yard. the problem is that they are rotties and ond one is a pit. Dont need an overzealous animal lover try to approach the 3 dogs and one of them attack for some strange reason.
I am a big advocate of chaining dogs, which all three are but they do break cables and chains and rip anchors out of the ground. I just want the jumping the fence to end.
Yeah the electric fence deal doesnt work. Tried it and they run thru it like no ones buisness. It doesnt even bother them. And to answer a comment, They all get plenty of room to run around, they have 3 acres to run on. The fence is a 6 foot chain link so they can see what is on the other side.
Answer: There are a few things that you can do.
1.) put up a higher fence.
2.) get an anti jump harness, you can find these at your local pet supply store.
3.) work with the one that is jumping the fence, take him around the fence, and every time he looks at the fence say bad dog in a stern voice. this probably wont work very well, but its worth a try.
4.) build a kennel with a top and cement bottom.
5.) to anchor the chain take and pour a cement footing so that he can't rip it out of the ground.
I hope this has helped in some way. Good luck.
