Ricki & Tara commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post Problem Solved!"So glad you found an "easy" solution and that your boy is safe now! WTG!!!"
Karen & Dugan commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post Problem Solved!"Susan, I got a Radio Fence at Lowes for right at $300.00 ( 6mo same as cash on the Lowes Card!) . There is nothing visible in the yard except the small white flags that you remove once your dog has been trained. The radio transmitter is about the…"
Susan Harms commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post Problem Solved!"Tell us more! I am looking for options too, we have to live up to the HOAs rules and would like to remain within budget"
Andrea Johnston commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post Problem Solved!"Hi Karen, glad that it's worked out for you. We have nearly and acre of land and fencing even a portion of the back yard is not a feasible option for us. So we opted for an electric fence and it works most of the time. However, if there is…"

Dugan no longer jumps the fence!!! I got an estaimate on a new fence, one tall enough to keep him in was not in my budget, so I purchased a Radio Fence and it works like a charm, in fact I believe Dugan was trained for this type of fence by his previous owner because he knew exactly what to do in regards to avoiding the flags! He hasn't left the yard since I turned on the transmitter! Dugan is such a magnificent dog, I just can't imagine why anyone would give him up. We are so lucky to have…See More
Kim commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"I had a foster once who jumped a cyclone fence while I was standing two feet from him. Fortunately, he had a long line on so I could stop him from running but it too was in the blink of an eye."
Liz and Seamus commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"I've learned to NEVER trust a new doodle alone in the fenced in yard. They are so smart and agile that sometimes you can't figure how they get out, but you're setting yourself up for a tragedy. Believe me from experience, it can…"
Liz and Seamus commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"I buried an underground wire along the inside of our fence and used the "invisible fence" collar on our jumper. The whole kit was about $250 at Lowe's or Home Depot and you do the work yourself. It was pretty easy and it works well.…"
Karen & Dugan commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"I was in the yard with him yesterday evening playing fetch with him and once he was at the fence, looked like he was going to jump it, I yelled at him and he was like "what? what did I do" LOL Then that evening I let him out to potty…"
Kim commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"Without replacing the fence the only safe method would seem to be to act as if you don't have a fenced yard and take him out on a leash every time. That of course doesn't give him the playtime he needs so you will have to find other…"
Christine and Camus commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"You have a difficult situation. My first doodle was able to jump a 6 foot chain link fence. I think he had flubber in his legs."
Susan Harms commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"We had this problem with our German Shepherd years ago, and we had a 6 foot fence! It was terrible, and eventually heart breaking. We tried all kinds of ways to keep her in, nothing worked, eventually had to get one of those running lines (two large…"
Ricki & Tara commented on Karen & Dugan's blog post HELP!!!"Okay I just Googled how to extend a chain link fence...I swear for a second I thought you posted this question too!!! LOL! This is from a fence company site...

My boy can jump the fence! I was hoping he wouldn't be able to but this morning I let him out and when I went to let him back in, he was across the street in the neighbors yard I called for him, he came running and leaped effortlessly back into the yard ! I was just sick! The fence I have is about 4 ft high. Anyone have any suggestions other get a new fence???

I adopted Dugan from P.A.W.S. rescue in Greenfield IN last Saurtday! He is 2 1/2 years old and weighs in at a wopping 77 pounds of pure love! It's hard to tell from his picture but he is lavendar in color. I could not ask for a better dog! Dugan formerly know as Arait (what kind of name is that???) is completely house broke, walks nicely on a leash, has very good doggy manners and knows some basic commands such as sit, down, shake and high five! (yes his high five is different from his…
