animals forever

Thank you for all your responses, i have not been able to get on here since friday! We have found that his escaping is more from being lonely/bored while we are at work so for the time being we are allowing him and our neighbours dog to hang out in both yards during the day. (My neighbour is happy with this situation for the time being) The neighbours fence on one side is qutie old wooden palings and almost falling apart and he has no interest in jumping or even pushing his way through it! I think we will extend the top of the fence and posibly do something along the lines of the chicken wire a metre from the fence too. He did have a temp test at the pound. didnt seem interested in jumping or digging! Appreciate all your help! :)

Hello, Not sure if this is the right area to post this topic.... I have in the past week rescued a Bull Arab x from the Canberra Pound. He is a beautiful friendly dog but the only problem is he has been escaping into our neighbours yard to hang out with their dog since Monday and today he escaped through the front of our yard and was found 2km away! We have Colourbond fencing around the yard except for the front fencing which is your standard tall wooden fencing. We thought he was getting under the fence to get into the neigbours yard to begin with but we had blocked the area off and now he has jumped the front fence i think he is definately a jumper! It is never when we are home only during the day while we are at work. Could anyone give me ideas on how to stop him from jumping? We are looking at adopting another dog to keep him company but that wont be for a couple of months. Toys? angled fencing at the top of our fences? Thank you!! :)
