We have a 5 month old staff bitch. She has tried escaping from the garden through holes in the fence for a couple of months. These holes have been blocked and so she has now started jumping over the fences into neighbours gardens. Both have dogs and she seems to want to play with them. but then she has also jumped a fence to get to to other people walking past the house too!! Some fences are over a metre high. During the last few days she has even started climbing a tree !
She goes for long walks across fields and straight away on return she starts her escape plans. She has another staff to play with, (which she does do) a 14 month old staff (larger but nore sedate). She is a very sociable dog and loves playing.
How do we stop her from jumping - without erecting higher fences and ending up like a prison yard ?
