Owen's secret discovered!
I'm tempted to take a video of it but I don't want to encourage it anymore but I can't believe he cleanly gets his body under there. He didn't even lose any hair. Unfortunately, until we can stake the fence down, Owen's back to being completely supervised outside. Actually, worse than supervised, I have to stand by the fence since, even though his recall is pretty good, if he gets half under the fence before I can stop him, I don't want him squeezing backward and getting hurt. Unbelievable. |

| Welcome to the club! José did the same thing a couple of years ago to get from the dog run into the swimming pool area! We couldn't believe our eyes. In his case, he didn't smash into it, he just nosed his way under it! Probably had the dog run & fencing for 10 years & none of our other dogs tried that! Within 15 minutes Jim was screwing the chain link to the boards that framed the base of the dog run! In this case it was a case of "the grass is always greener" literally as the dog run is crushed limestone & the pool area is green grass! |
| Let him do it one more time just so we can have a video of it.
It is definitely video worthy.  |

It is definitely video worthy. It really is. Owen must have a head like a rock. We've been calling him Juggernaut.  |
| Can you run a narrow iron pipe the length of the section between the posts along the bottom edge? We've had to do similar things to keep sneaky lambs from scooting under the woven wire fencing in the pasture (or rather - out of the pasture!) We just wired it in at intervals along the bottom edge of the fence. It looks pretty neat, and tidy - so not too bad for a yard. |
| Sneaky lambs, sneaky sheepies, and sneakysheepie... I'm getting confused.
I'm all for video  unless it involves pain/danger.  |
| We need a video of Owen in action, titled, K9 "Bulldozer"
You should of called him "Wombat" there the "Bulldozers in the Bush here" Big butt heads.  |
| That boy is always up to something. |

See these are the little things the breeder never thinks to tell you |

For some reason, I'm not getting this-- can you take a pic? In my mind, it seems like the pipe would help him push but I know it must not work that way! Our neighbor went out and bought those metal stakes that are u shaped and are pounded in to hold the fence in place. I think he got like 13 of them, which seems like it should work but I may need other options if it doesn't. |

Well you are going to have to take them out long enough to get our video. Then you can put them back. |
| I had a narrow metal bars along fence bottom edges at my other house to prevent that from happening, and it worked great for my dogs, but the neighbors great danes managed to bend it and although they didn't make the hole big enough for dogs to go through, I think that's how skunks started coming through.
Then we buried chicken wire along the fence lines and zippy tied it to the fence bottom every 6 inches or so. Pain in the butt, didn't work for the skunks. Sky and Bree could jump that fence no problem anyway, they just never did until I was going out to either put them IN the yard or bring them in the house, they jumped over the fence to get IN the yard more often than out.
At this house we have 6 foot wood privacy fence, with a concrete "curb" problem solved. |
| So, he's no longer using Bear to catapult himself over the fence? |
