We don't leave him home alone very often. He's small enough to fit through the slats inour fence, but big enough that it's not fair to leave him inside while we're gone. We can't afford to put up a new fence, but this has got to stop. Is there something I can spray on the fence to make him stay away from it, or is there something else I can do beside installing a new fence?
Answers:
1- get a dog lead that clips to his collar and tie it off to a post so that he has full access to the yard, but cant leave it.
2- electronic fence. it is usually 2 posts and a collar, when the dog leaves the defined area, he gets a buzz. he will learn the boundaries. it is humane and effective. it is supposed to act like a pack leader biting at his neck, which teaches him the rules.
i would go for the lead, its cheaper.
get him one of the shocking collars with boundries
the only thing u can do is put slats over the slats so he can't get out. u can try spraying garlic on it but u have to remember to respray every time it gets wet. good luck
Put chicken or rabbit wire inside the fence. He can still see out that way, but can't get out.
It's easy to do - comes on a roll, and you just nail or staple it to your existing fence.
Put chicken wire on your side of the fence so he can still see out, but can't get out.
you say it's not fair to leave him indoors while you are gone.i say it's not fair to keep him outside in the weather either.
my lab and 6 smaller dogs stay indoors during the day when i am at work. they each have their own crate according to size. they are comfortable with their beds, out of the nasty weather, and i KNOW they cannot escape into the streets!
Question
My dog gets out of our yard between the slats in our fence. Leaving him inside is not an option what do i do
Answer
Fix the fence
either tie up the dog, or, what i recomend, redo your fence.
There are alternatives. I heard about someone lining the bottom of the fence with large flat rocks; this discourages digging under the fence. I would set aside a weekend and gather fencing, sharp tin snips to cut fencing with and fencing staples, hammer. Unroll a small section of fence (4' height cut down to 2' height); place on fence and staple to fence. Dogs hate metal fences. I did this to the bottom of our fence and every great once in while there is some digging but the combination works wonders in my case.
if you have the money try an electric fence. you will have to train your dog to not escape but i think it gives you dog a quick electrocute shock but it doesn't hurt them that much i don't think.
Why do you think it's not fair for him to be inside? He'll be much safer if you just leave him inside. If he tends to misbehave when left alone inside then gate him off in a certain room or crate him.
You can nail hardware cloth or chicken wire on the inside of the fence so he can't squeeze thru.
why dont you buy it a collar an tie to something while you guys are gone? that all i got !!:)
How about putting chicken wire on the inside of the fence?
