[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 537973, member: 84"] LOL True Neither do normal ones for that matter. If they [B]want[/B] to get out, have sufficient [B]motivation[/B] to go out, they'll find a way out. Under normal circumstances, Rowdy has no inclination to leave the yard, even though he can dig out under the privacy fence with ease or jump the front fence of the back yard with no effort. Have a female in heat, or should he believe he needs to protect home/family? Nothing will stop him. He has sailed over his 6 ft kennel fence with barely putting a paw in it. I keep his dog house in the center where he could never use it as a means of escape. (I've had other escape artists in the past) Didn't stop him, he just goes up and over. Molly has never even considered jumping the front fence of the back yard although in her younger days she could've easily sailed over it. The thought never crossed her mind. She also never followed Rowdy or Betsy when they'd escape. Instead she'd bark up a storm raising holy hades to tell on them. LOL Rowdy made it all summer without getting out last year. I think age is beginning to catch up with him. I also think we lucked out and there were no unfixed females in the area going into heat. I should have neutered him years ago when he was young. But I'm sort of glad I never did. He's fathered some of the most amazing puppies I've ever seen, especially with Sheba, a rottie in the neighborhood who was not spayed and her people couldn't stop her from getting out when in heat. Sheba was brilliant and sweet as you could get.

Cutest thing I've ever seen. And yes every single one got great forever homes. :) That's why I'm training Maggie to stay in the yard off leash, it helps with the don't jump/dig under the fence thing later down the road. Teaches them "this is your yard, you stay in it". [/QUOTE]
