Tips To Keep Your Dog Inside The Fence

I have received this question many times and I want to share with you how I suggest these dog owners solve the problem. Quite often I get that call telling me that a dog owner has a problem because their dog is either jumping over, digging under or in some other way getting out of their fenced yard.

These people want me to train their dog to quit doing that, however there is one huge problem. The dog has already learned this behavior and it is really difficult to unlearn something that is so much fun and offers so much excitement and freedom. So what are these dog owners to do with this dog? Hang on because I am going to give you the easy fix and it always works.

But before I do I want to tell you how dangerous it is for a dog when it has developed this bad habit. A bunch of bad things can happen to your dog when it get out of the safety of your fenced yard.

The first and most obvious problem is that you dog can be run over by a car. This unfortunately happens all the time and it is so senseless if you will just take a few simple precautions.

The next possibility is that your dog wanders a little too far and then is unable to find its way home. Yes dogs can travel great distances to areas that they are unfamiliar with and then they are lost forever.

Another possibility if you have a cute little dog or a gorgeous big friendly dog is that somebody grabs your dog and takes it home. Some dog lovers will try to find the owners however there are those people that will fall in love with your dog and decide to keep it as their own.

Underground Electric Fence

So you are saying about now, "tell me how to keep it from happening". The answer is an UNDERGROUND FENCE system. I don't mean for you to spend a bunch of money to have one installed, you can do it yourself easily because you are not going to bury the wire (that is the hard part normally).

Go to one of the big box pet stores or better yet look on Amazon for a fence system at the best price. Instead of burying the wire you are going to staple it to your existing wood fence or weave it in and out of your metal or wire fence. Follow the instructions for an installation and the train your dog to the fence using the instructions and the flags that are included.

There it is, easy as can be and not very expensive. Your dog is an important part of your family don't take any chances when it comes to its safety.
