HI all! I have a 9 mo old male lab puppy who has just started jumping the fence going after dogs that are being walked. He is not neutered yet and I was wondering if this may be the problem? If I have him neutered, which I plan to eventually, would this calm him down? I hate to have to chain him up outside when we have a fenced in yard but he is just too big. He sleeps in a crate inside during the day while we are at work and then he is around us all the time when we get home so he gets plenty of attention. And advice? Thanks so much! IP: Logged |

Unfortunately some dogs need to be tied down otherwise they will jump even a 6-8 ft legal height fence. You don't say what height it is, but being a lab, full of energy, he'll be a handful. My Dobies learned not to jump my front 4 ft fence, but neighbor kids teased out back and sides, and so I have electric fence on the top of that 6 ft. Now they make a new portable electronic controller that gives a warning beep, then a mild static shock near the perimeter, this could help. I have mine on a cable, heavy duty because chains can catch the skin and cause awful tearing. When I'm home, I do as you do. Big dogs, big problems, but hopefully this has helped. Good luck.
