What is the best way to stop a dog from jumping the fence ?

I have a large fence and a large dog! Annoying the hell out of me!

If he's an escapee, limiting his access to the fence perimeter might be your only option.We had a German shepherd that enjoyed jumping the fence after taking his collar off. He hit the animal shelter a good two or three times a month for four years.Eventually, we broke down and got him a trolley and a long lead so he could roam the yard, but not get anywhere near the fence.You could also try a covered dog run when you're not able to watch him religiously. While we always recommend you watch your dog while they're outside, realistically we don't unless they're very tiny lap dogs.

keep it inside.

What breed of dog? And how high is the fence? Certain breeds can easily jump fences that are up to 6 foot high. Some solutions:Make the fence higherMake the top foot or so of the fence taper inwards, or even at up to 90 degrees so it has a definate lip on it. Makes it harder for the dog to jump.Have you seen the dog jump it or is the dog climbing the fence? If its climbing it, try putting up clear plastic of something like that to prevent the dog getting a foot hold.Good luck!!EDIT: The electric fence is a great idea too, it will save the dog getting out and being hit by a car. The zap that they receive can be altered and it is not detrimental to the dog at all. The product is widely used in Australia and with great success. Although expensive to set up, well worth it and the dog will only need one or two zaps before he understands.

A runnner it's a piece of coil going from like your house to a tree or what ever and your dogs chain is hooked to it. The dog will have plenty of room too run but not over the fence.

People are going to hate this, but you could get an buried electronic fence that beeps when he gets too close. Once he associates the beep and the eventual shock that comes with it when he gets overtop of the buried line...He'll learn. I've never personally used this (no problems so far, crossing fingers), but I've seen it work very well. With the limited experience that I have in this, I do know that you won't want to skimp on a cheap one if you decide this is the route you'll want to go.

Go to a pet store and get an underground fence that goes under ground and a shock collar. Line the wire a foot inside your fence so your dog doesn't have a chance to get to close to the fence. I don't know if they have one that keeps shocking the dog til it gets back in the yard. I would suggest NOT getting one of those because it has a fence to get over to get back in and I think that would jus be torture. The shocker quits working after a certain height above the ground that's why I say put it where it will shock before the dog gets to the fence because if it's right against the fence it will possibly jump over the fence and avoide the shock. It takes a while and some work to train the dog for the fence. It comes with directions on training the dog. Follow the directions and the fence is very humane. I think that is your best bet. The collar gives a warning beep before the dog gets to close to the fence the buzzes and shocks the dog when it gets right across the line.
