Hello - Usenet citizen's first post to this group. I have two stupid
dogs who are squeezing out under the chain link fence to go play with
the other dogs in the park. Not digging - just squeezing.

So what would you try?

Googling got me attaching chicken wire to the bottom, angling it in and
burying it 12" or so in. My chicken wire projects always look like crap

If the neighbors didn't have kids....no doubt.

(Actually, I have kids too, but they learn almost as quick as the dogs.)

"Consider" using metal tent stakes (with the hooks on the side (or

footers poured a few inches wide with the bottom of the fence sunk

Drive in tent pegs anywhere the fence is loose enough to move
The little hook meant for the rope should hold the bottom of the wire mesh.

But don't blame me if the dogs just start digging, and you have to go with
the chicken wire anyway.

That is the same thought my husband had. Do you think tent stakes are
long enough to hold it properly?

How would rebar be done? (I love rebar. It looks so....serious!)

Yikes. I've never done cement before. I started to say "I think that
would be easier done when installing the fence" but I do not think
that's quite right.

Then I pictured some sort of a temporary mold along the bottom...

Next thought was : That might be hard, because the footer can't extend
beyond the fence line without encroaching on the neighbor's / city's
property line. (We back up to a park.)

Is that a radio fence? I had one at my last house - put it in myself,
and fixed it every time it got broken. (A lightning strike blew it right
off the wall!) We absolutely loved it, but our yard's not wide enough
to do that here . They would be barely able to step off the patio
before they got into the shock zone.

It is a good thought though. Thanks!

I'm on a tangent here, but I'm home with them all day. They're more than

times a day, we walk almost every day...they're not starved for toys,
water or attention. They just want to go play with the other doggies
going on their walks in the park.

Does your fence have a bottom wire? Fence installers can run a
plastic coated aircraft cable from post to post along the bottom. It
is woven into the bottom row of fencing, and pulled tight with a
turnbuckle at one end. This keeps the bottom edge of the fencing very
tight so it is much harder to squeeze under, as long as there isn't a
big gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground. You could do
it youself; it's not hard. If the dogs are really determined, they
may just resort to digging, but this will prevent them from just
squeezing under.

Some sponges soaked in bacon grease should do the trick. Putting some
antifreeze in their water will help speed the fix. I've also heard that
wafarin powered meat chunks can help, too.

Good luck.

Make some stakes with hooks in the ends. Drive the stakes into the

If you cut a hunk of black pipe in half, and have someone stand on

a staple. I'll be really impressed if your dogs can unbend that,

Those small but sharp carpet tacks mixed in the Alpo will also sometimes do

Well, I've had experience a bit with such things...first, the
suggestion posted later on about running an reinforcing wire along the
bottom of the cyclone fence, woven through the bottom holes, is
good..but if they start diggin' it's not gonna work. But, if you want
to try that then any Ace Hardware, Lowe's, Home Depot, or other home
improvement/hardware store should have something that'll help..but you
may need a fence stretcher like they use with barbed wire to make it
stiff enough to really help.

However, they do make a low voltage electric fence system for small
pests (and small pets) that, supposedly, isn't as rough on smaller
animals as the stuff they use to rein in cattle, and I've purchased one
from Tractor Supply Company for a friend to keep his Boston Terrier
from digging under their fence and it worked beautifully. Mark the
electric fence with ribbons every few feet (3 or 4) just to be
sure..but I think they'll find it anyway and power it up. It took only
once for the Boston Terrier to find it and remember it. We put it low
to the ground as the fence above was suffient to stop the dog.

The dog learned quick to stay away from the fence and that was the
point. At that point she pretty much quit shocking herself.

All you bleeding hearts who want to flame me about using an electric
fence for a dog can un-hitch your wagons right now: 1) it was low
voltage for small animals, and 2) it's better than the animal getting
hurt or lost or in a fight because it's too clever to be held by a
conventional fence. Besides, after a few interactions with the fence
the dog figured it out and pretty much quit trying it (I can't swear to
that because I don't live there).

I have neighbors with kids. As much as I would love to try this, I'm
afraid they'd get jolted. We're already the new neighbors - I'm really
trying hard here *not* to be the neighbors from hell.

If the tension wire on the bottom doesn't work, I might try it. I think
I could keep the voltage off when the kids were out, and keep the dogs
away when the voltage is off too.

fence for a dog can un-hitch your wagons right now: 1) it was low
voltage for small animals, and 2) it's better than the animal getting
hurt or lost or in a fight because it's too clever to be held by a
conventional fence. Besides, after a few interactions with the fence
the dog figured it out and pretty much quit trying it (I can't swear to
that because I don't live there).


I have neighbors with kids. As much as I would love to try this, I'm
afraid they'd get jolted. We're already the new neighbors - I'm really
trying hard here *not* to be the neighbors from hell.

If the tension wire on the bottom doesn't work, I might try it. I
think I could keep the voltage off when the kids were out, and keep
the dogs away when the voltage is off too.

Louder, please?

Actually, I found some mighty long tent-type stakes. They're actually a
multi-purpose stake, about 15" long with a hook on the side.

Of course, I found all this after I had everything else in the cart.

I had reservations about how the heck I was going to tie the cable to
the hook. When I saw the stakes, I though I would start with that instead.
