| Aint that the truth! It would cost too much to redo the whole fence the way I want it. So I have to make do with what I can afford. Chicken Wire = 9$, Wire Cutters = 6$ Stakes = 10$, safety of having your dog not weaving in and out of cars = priceless! |

| If that doesn't work, Jill - trench down a few inches, put the chicken wire in there, and then fill with quickcrete. Stops them from digging up the chicken wire! They have thicker chicken wire, too - the stuff with the squares. Good luck! |

| Jill, that's impressive. I'm going to have to rig something up here. Our back fence is like 3.5' picket, and it's a bit flimsy. One of these years Ghost is going to figure out she can jump it... _________________  |

| Oh gosh. You should see what I did to block gaps in the fence. I mainly used old logs I had in a pile in my backyard and the divider from one of my crates. lol. |

| Our back fence is 6 ft high, but out problem isn't the dogs jumping over....it's them going THROUGH and under.  It's a patchwork of plywood, new pickets and original fencing as well as rocks and bricks to try and fill in the holes. We're slowly acquiring the pieces to replace one side of the fence...bring on the concrete and chicken wire!! lol |

| Meredith, our fence is only 4 foot, he is to smart to go over, he'd rather go under , I'm thinking about running hot wire on the top just in case |

| I might have to run hot wire if she gets bad about it. Hell, that might even help with the cat problem... Ghost hasn't tried to dig under the fence yet, but we are getting quite the collection of holes in the yard. I think it's time to get a sandbox for her to dig in. The rest of our fence is the nice 6' wood panel, but the back sucks. I asked about putting the 6' stuff back there, but the landlord wasn't too cool about that. _________________  |

At my first house, Dakota learned within the first week of putting up my fence that he could break the boards at the bottom. I was so mad! I had this huge back yard and spent all this money on this wood privacy fence and couldn't use it! It was my fault though....I should have done the research first. All I worried about was him jumping it, not breaking it! |

Remember when you were watching him stare at the patch and wondering what he was thinking...
My guess is "How many foot-pounds of energy must be applied to that chicken wire as opposed to the more sturdy wire? And what points on this fencing appear most vulnerable?" And probably some mathematical equation he could use to aid in his escape....
I'm thinking within a few minutes he had his answer! I tell you, these guys are SMART...
Did you use stakes? We do not leave Sabaka outside unsupervised, but our entire fence is made of welded wire fencing (the rolls with little rectangles) that we stretched over a pre-existed split-rail fence. My husband pounded steel stakes in the ground in a few areas where there are gaps or where the dog is messing with the fence or the ground. If you get (or make...I don't know what he did...can you saw rebar?) rebar or metal tomato stakes that are about a foot tall and space them a few inches apart, Neo should not be able to dig or "squiggle" out. I'm assuming that you don't need to do this all the way around the fencing, that could get expensive!
These pups... Good luck! |

| Len, I actually did tie him out with a steel cable, and he kept running to the end of it and jerking himself back. If I do that again I'm hoping he will stop before he hurts himself. I used metal stakes, but he actually tore a hole through where the hole in the original fence was. He didn't even touch the stakes lol. Damn dog is going to give me a heart attack. He escaped in the time it took me to wash a few dishes lol. I'm just going to have to find a good book to read while I sit on the back porch so I can watch him. |
