Dog Fence Jumping – Why do they do it?
There are a few different reasons why your dog is jumping the fence. Your dog could have a desire to go explore outside of his fenced area. This is generally more prevalent in dogs that had previously been strays and can sometimes be prevented by spaying or neutering your dog. If your dog is a male, he may jump the fence because a female dog in the neighborhood is in heat and he can’t resist the pheromones that are being released. It could also be that your dog sees something exciting on the other side of the fence (like a cat or another dog) and that’s why he jumps. Another possibility is that your dog is just plain bored. Whatever the reason for your dog jumping the fence, its a dangerous situation that needs to be solved.
