Prevent dog from jumping the fence - cheap solution

- The basic idea is to put a string or wire just above the top rail wrapped around 1 inch screws in each post. The dog won't get a steady footing on the top rail and will not feel comfortable jumping it. Has worked great for our dog that is a cattle dog mix for over 6 years. He is a little larger than a regular sized cattle dog.
run a piece of PVC along the top with wire or cable inside. When the dog tries to jump, it will flip over and not give the dog the ability to get a foothold.
I put BARB WIRE on top of my 4 ft chain link fence. Looks like a dog prison. SOB still climbs it!
lmao
Papillon
Mine too!
didnt work for my dog. SOB lolol ive tried everything! going to try the pvc.
Lmao
I tried this. My Corsos just busted it. It’s stretches a lot. I then hooked up an electric wire that I used for my goats. That worked instantly. They were already familiar with the livestock wires. Very low voltage too.
I'm on Social Security , cash poor, and have a little house with a 6" wooden fence. I adopted a shelter dog who sat at attention looking at me as if we were old friends. He's actually a year old English Pointer with some pittie. He jumped out over and over no matter what I did, barking at our game population which is everywhere in the underbrush. He didn't run away, only bark and jump the fence.
I'm 76 and can't run very fast. I decided for both of us to get 5 XL leashes and a martingale type collar, join the leashes, and just enjoy my dog. My granddaughter is a vet assistant and would be furious if I used anything shocking. She says is depresses dogs and encourages cancer later...they lose heart. Toto is a hunting dog, a country boy, and I love him. I give him lots of prey chasing inside the house and we have fun.
He tested the tether twice and now has it down. It's long enough to pee and poop. There seemed no other way and we are getting along fine.
My dog started to start jumping over the gate this morning - I am so fed up with her, and the problem is that it's an electric gate - I am really hoping that this method will work.
I have a 9 month old Irish terrier/boxer mix and she's 46 lbs. Our HOA won't let us do hardly anything when it comes to installing privacy fencing and I'd rather not get an electric fence. It seems I may have to go to that route just in case.
Glad it worked for yours. Tried this in the exact same spot as yours.... did not work with my Husky Mix. I have moved it up to the top... will see if that works.
It works??
@@RobiPerk0125 a little, but ended up getting a petsafe wireless containment system.
.
@@bgustafsongm what is that? Looking for tips as well got a German Shepherd,
Mine still jumps over. He wiggles between the fence and the first wire (hardly any space - I don’t know how he manages it). I’m so fed up.
yup, i guess mine is smarter than his too !! every time i go out to fix weak spots and go back inside, i will catch him walking the perimeter looking for ANY weak spots and trying them. ok so i have a 4 1/2 foot chain link fence so my first attempt was running bailing wire ( what hay bales are tied with ) across the top in lengths that were the same as the fence sections. i put galv electrical pipes ( what electricians use ) along the vertical poles of the exhisting fence approx 3 feet higher than top post of fenceline. Didnt take long for him to get past that design, so i added 2 more strands of wire horizontally and secured them to each other vertically so they would not spread apart also securing the bottom horizontal wire to the actual fence. this was very sound and secure and i felt confident he wouldnt get past this design. WRONG !! next move was to feed 2 inch pvc pipe cut just a little shorter than the fence sections so if and when he jumped on them , they would roll and he wouldnt get a good grip to get over the top. this was placed on the top stand , i also bent the vertical tubing 30 degrees inward ( like the prisons ) then resucured it all back up. This actually worked for 3 weeks before he found a way to get UNDER the fence. I give up !!
Yes very stressful ,so I just got a zip line for my dogs, they can go but not like they did until I figured it out I didn't realize how smart they are lol but I love them even thow they a pain and running out my yard
This worked for me. Thank you for posting.
Ahhh! I wanna see this idea work... Any vids of what the dogs do when they encounter this clever thing? Thnx for postin!
I’ll try that, thanks!
I'd be terrified of a caught leg or strangulation.
It's better they get themselves caught in the fence than hit by a car because they got loose. Just keep an eye on them
What about coyotes and other dogs trying to get in from the outside?
look up coyote rollers
just did this last night . find gets crossed
Jeremy Walker how did it go?
My pit gets over our 6ft privacy fence fairly easily. I'm putting a similar system near the top of the inside, hoping I dont have to use an electric fence. Will find out...
Did you figure something out for your Pit? I have a pit/boxer mix and something. He jumps over my 6 1/2' fence.
@@chickenburrito22 not really. We make sure he is wearing his shock collar when outside and watch him. If he tries to jump over we vibrate his collar and now he doesnt try to do it as often. If he does get over we can get him back quickly with the shock collar. We tried putting a steel clothesline around the fence but that only helped marginally. Have considered putting an electric fence around the top as well
good idea! im going to try that tommorow
what about a lade can it jump still cause she will figure out a away
My dog got her paw caught up in the wire.
Well tried and failed my dogs got it on second try brats lol but I’m sure this would work for the less determined pup
My Border collie would just jump around that haha.
This really works??? Someone try this already?
My dog jumps over it and doesn't grip her paw
We have a shock fence and Duke still climbs it. He is a black Labrador retriever mix with German shepherd. What do I do.
Coyote rollers diy
I have the perfect solution and my dog cannot get over my fence anymore. I wish I knew how to submit a photo of it
Can you tell me?
wont work for my dog, ive got electric wire she still manages to get out.
Look at those coyote rollers, they make, people make them themselves too. Its basically a pipe that goes on top the fence that rolls when the dog tries to grab the top of the fence.
And what if we don't have a post that sticks up higher than our fence? This is lame. The Rusty screw you're pointing at is not galvanized. Hence the rust...
Lol made me laugh
Galvanized steel just has a thin coat of zinc to prohibit rust, it does not prevent rust, and will in fact rust over time as the coating wears. Particularly on nail heads if you drive them with a hammer that doesn’t have a smooth surface and it perforated or otherwise damages the head. Either way, it’s still not rust proof. So there’s that.
the guy is into hearing himself talk. Just show what was done and be done with it
