Keeping Dogs from Jumping Fence

He was able to drag it around in the back yard, but he could no longer jump over the fence with it on.

What Cesar used during that episode for that particular dog was a "scat mat." I've seen them for sale here: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3452 or I'm sure you could Google "scat mat." The mat sends off a static charge and the dog (or cat) will learn they don't like the little zap and they'll stay away. If that doesn't work, I would talk to a vet or trainer.

They even have the underground fence and still jump the fence. I love my boys but get so frustrated. My neighbors lab is the same way (they are brothers). Brandy Answers: RE: Keeping Dogs from Jumping Fence Hello Brandy, I too, had 2 dogs who always jumped the fence. I was getting very frustrated until I found a small fence shocker at my local pet store. It's not as strong as the larger ones you see on cattle/horse fences, but it will give a jolt. I checked with my vet prior to purchasing...and he said it was not harmful. It only took me a couple hours to run the wire at the top of the fence, and below where they had started to dig. It only took 2 shocks for them to stay away from the fence. After awhile, I could even unplug it and they stayed home. It was a good investment for me. Hope this helps!

The dogs might be able to reach the top of the wooden or chain link fence but when they attempt to climb the pvc it will just roll and roll and roll. They will tire themselves out trying to get over the fence! I read this idea in a book about Siberian Huskies who are known for escaping.
