Anyone know how to stop a dog from jumping a 6ft high fence

I fenced my back yard, and put in a gate about neck height (my dogs just a terrier X).

I then added 1.5 feet to the gate.

Then I turned the gate round (he was using the cross brace for leverage).

Then I sloped the extra top bit inwards.

Then I added another sticking out bit.

My gate is now over 6 foot and slopes back on itself by at least a foot, I have trouble getting through it...... and he still gets out

He also thinks he's a great duck hunter :roll:

LOL I hope you meant that as a joke! Using a harness on a dog only increases their pull force and power.. Meaning he will no doubt pull pull the chain out of the ground and have a full run at things

yea i was only joking. lol i have 2 pitbulls and i know what they are like with harnesses... walking 1 at a time is ok, but when you have them both, you're better off wearing rollerblades :roll:

Had a rottweiller here a few years ago that used to jump over the fence and say "Hi" to all the old ladies. (He ended up biting a jogger - whoops!) The landlord put an electic wire over the 3 foot fence which worked a treat. Well, almost. He learnt that when he was wet, ouch. When there was no moisture around, he'd be okay to jump.

He was a great, loving dog, but as mad as a frik'n hatter. :lol:

What I'm trying to get at, is there are always solutions to the problems our animals give us but sometimes it's a matter of thinking outside the spare wheel. There's been some great advice on here but you know your dog best. Try a few things and stick with what has the most impact for you and your dog.

Oh, and I had a whippet as a child. Freakishly energetic, aren't they? :wink:

He's probably glad he doesn't need to get out through the gate...:P
