Suspect: Black Lab, 2 yrs old, not neutered. He has free roam of the back yard (which is fenced) but constantly finds ways to get out and run around in the neighborhood or miles down the road. He used to dig holes under the fence until my husband put a cement border all around the bottom, then he taught himself to climb the fence which amazes me for a big dog. We have tried tying him up with a 15 foot cable (although I feel bad for doing that and normally never would do that except for THIS dog), or chain and he still manages to get out. We have bailed him out of the dog pound several times this year. 5yr old son wants to keep him because the dog is his best buddy. Any suggestions? BTW we named him Jesse James so that may have had some effect on his rebeliousness, ha ha.
