Well... She's a Jumper.

[Sbarry]

The new pup that is. [emoji57]

A little back story. The owner of the shop I work for has a daughter that purchased this dog from a breeder in Missouri. (Only one of two breeders in US for miniature boxer)

Well, said daughter has 4 small children and apparently couldn't handle the pup with the kids as well, so the owner has been watching over the dog for the past 3-4 weeks. I told them I would take her if they couldn't find a home.

So, yesterday we got her.



Our dog, a 5 year old boxer, always does well with other dogs so I wasn't worried about that, but then seeing them together, they're like brother and sister already in the matter of an hour or two. Perfect! [emoji1360]

She's fully house trained, and crate trained. She slept through the night without making a sound, woke up this morning and was super playful. Perfect little dog.

Well then came time for my wife and I to leave for the day. Gave the neighbor a heads up to keep an eye on her for us.

By noon she had already jumped our perimeter fence, and luckily went next door to the neighbor that was prepped to keep an eye out.

She put her back in our yard, but she was quick to jump out again.

Mind you... this mini-boxer is about 30lbs, 14 inches tall, and our fence is 5'6" tall. The dog is jumping to the top, grabbing the fence with front paws, and clawing her way over.

The neighbor decides she would take her to her house to watch her a little closer. But wasn't long before she ended up jumping her fence twice.

So I ducked out of work early to go get her. By this time, she's hanging out inside the neighbors house and has made friends with their Great Dane and chihuahuas. Lol

Now I'm sitting here thinking... crap!! What am I gonna do? Can't build the fence any taller (association rules) can't keep her in her crate all day (gone for 11-12 hours a day) and can't keep her in the backyard (obvious reason)

I have a call into my aunt... hopefully she will want her. Feel bad for the little girl. Only a year old and already 3, going on 4, different homes. I really want to keep her, but I just can't. Never felt like this before. Dang dogs!! [emoji57]

As I was reading this. I wast thinking , is there anything u can put n the fence that would keep her off it or from jumping on it.

Kinda like that spray stuff that u put on stuff to keep the dog from chewing. I don't know.

Thought about that, but who's to say it'll work??

Tru dat. Never know til you try. I would ask Daytona babe, I bet she can come up with a solution. She is very dog smart. [emoji106][emoji202]

They have a roller system that goes on a fence to keep coyotes out. That system can also keep yours in. With your association, you would need to put it on the inside near the top since it doesn't sound like you can put it on top. I don't know the brand name for it off hand but I believe there was "coyote" in the name.

Beautiful pup! Boxers are the best, but they are energetic!

This would probably work for your dog

Electric wire.

I've been keeping Labs in the yard most of my life and I've never found one that can get past it. Sounds like you have it easy with her going over the top. Never let your guard down, she will look for other ways so keep some extra wire around.

Went thru the same thing with my Lab during first week after adoption. I DIYd a cantilever mesh on the upper part of the fence to stop her from climbing/jumping.
Below link shows a similar setup you can buy.

That's pretty slick... but have about 350' fence. Thinking that might get a little too pricey for my blood

Some really good ideas. The network of this place is worth my membership dues each year.

Looking forward to seeing u Ken , at DS [emoji106][emoji202]

Hmm... interesting [emoji1360]

 

[hallett21]

Invisible fence?

 

[chaser]

can you put a electric wire on top? ( very low amps ) just a quick zap and she won't do it twice

 

[C-2]

Invisible fence?

That's what I was thinking. A shock collar/wireless fence deal.

Been thinking about doing the same for some goats we have. Still cheaper than fencing.

 

[Danger Dave]

Is she only getting over on one side of the yard? If your neighbor is cool, put a taller fence in. What the POA doesn't know won't hurt them. You can always say it was like that when you bought the house if it ever came up.

It is probably just anxiety from the move and being left when you all leave for the day . After a few days if you can manage it she should adjust and be fine. Cute dog and good luck.

For sure anxiety... my fault completely. I should have taken her on a Friday so I could be around for a couple days. I am going to get through this week and weekend, and try to get her to calm down more. She really is a great dog when we are around, so I know it's just anxiety. Feel bad for her [emoji57]

If you end up needing a good rescue to take her let me know. There are also a couple members on here that run rescues as I recall.

The coyote roller idea works good but can get pricey with a lot of linear footage.

Electric fence charger and wiring your fence on your side near the top edge may work also. I'm sure that's against most any HOA rules and many city's ordinances also. I know someone who uses one to keep coyotes out and it does work very well. Just a thought.

Well she is such a great dog, and we feel so bad she has been moved around so much, that we have sorta decided against finding her a new home.

It's hard since we are gone all day, and it's pitch black by the time I get home to train her, but I have been doing my best and she has been responding very well. No attempted jumps since last Thursday.

She was running around this afternoon when I let her out and she instantly ran towards the gate she has been hurdling. Well... I figured I'd try the "static" collar deal today since I bought it last week. Took some advise from here, work and Petsmart trainer.

I put it on her, and run through some basic exercises praising her and using the positive tone button. Then I try to get her to do wrong so I could let her hear the negative tone a few times. (She didn't respond... no big deal)

So I keep on with the same things over and over... maybe 30 minutes.

Now I'm thinking I could introduce the "static" with the negative tone. Mind you, Petsmart told me to set this collar to high, but I couldn't do it. I set it to 3, and she didn't respond at all. Like she didn't feel anything. So then I turn it to 5. She went toward the gate, I hit the negative tone, then the static... This poor dog cried like she got hit with a baseball bat. What the heck!! That was the most horrible thing I've ever heard come out of a dog.

Now she is traumatized and hasn't left the floor right night to the sliding back door.

I feel horrible. "Static" my ass!!

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Don't feel too bad. The yelp is more from it scaring the shit outta them than it is from pain. Look at it this way. What's worse, a few shocks, or jumping the fence and getting hit by a car?

Oh I get your point... but she still won't move.
