Besides raising the bar, what strategies do you use to keep a dog from jumping his fence?

Sometimes a dog jumps the fence purely because of boredom or the lack of exercise. Making sure the dog isn't left in the yard for hours and does get a walk every day helps.

Just kidding, I bet strict training is probably your only answer, good luck though!

Healthy Pursuits, the pup gets two long walks a day! And he is never left outside for more than 15 - 20 minutes. I agree that he might be bored for that length of time- he is a puppy after all.

Just a very tall one. Things are complicated because I can't really give him bones, because our other dog is very very allergic. It does occur to me, however, that I might give him bones and put him outside in the yard alone to chew it.

Although I do recall him first jumping into the neighbor's yard to keep his bone from the second dog. You did make me think, though.

I started him in puppy school but ran out of money before I could re-enroll him. I do plan to put him in again... What training have you used that helps keep a dog inside a fence?

Well if you have the time, since he is out only 15 or 20 minutes at a time, maybe decrease the time and spend it teaching him not to jump. Keep him on a leash at first and literally walk around the yard monitoring him and tell him "NO" when he attempts to jump. Sooner or later he will give up on the idea and find something else to do like, eat your favorite shoes.Haha.

Okay, you need some serious answers, training takes too long for a big bowser of a pup!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
