Dog Jumping fences!! Anyone used invisible fence?
We have a female bullmastiff x rotty who is about 3 years old. We live in an estate which is a rural setting so we have rural fencing separating our properties.
Our problem is that our dog has been jumping the fences and sitting out in the front yard or wandering around the corner to our inlaws house to play with their dog. A neighbours dog got into our yard and the dogs had a fight which resulted in the neighbours dog having to be put down. We fear if our dog keeps getting out she might harm another animal or a person. She is a loving friendly dog but we cannot take this risk.
We have put an electric fence around our boundary which worked for a while but now she jumps between the pulses and still gets out. Even more so if we have a thunderstorm as she is scared of the thunder.
We have been looking into the invisible dog fences which use static shock to train the dog to stay away from the fence. Has anyone used this system??
Any help would be appreciated. I fear if we cannot stop her jumping we will need to rehome her as I refuse to keep her tied up all day.
Thanks in advance.
