dog tunneling under chain link fence
Any ideas to secure the bottom edges of the chain link fence? New-to-us
dog tunneled under the brand new fence and bolted. The mister thinks we should have the fence guy come back and secure pipe at the bottom of the fence from post to post, clipping the fence to the pipe as along the top. I'm not convinced this will solve the tunneling problem, just slow the progress. I'm thinking some kind of metal edging that can be sunk 12" or so below ground, with a few inches remaining above to cover any gap between ground and fence. If we were to go with this metal edging idea, what kind of metal, and from whom do I procure it? Any other ideas? For the time being, dog goes on a 40' tether on one of those screw in stakes, just to run around the $1200 "fenced in" yard. Grr... -Karen- |

dog tunneling under chain link fence
add invisible fence around permiter, dog not wanting to get shocked
will stay away from fence I have a dog like that her name is puddle. She a small poodle would jump a 4 foot wire mesh fence, leak out doors, run all thru neighborhood, chase cars, barking for no reason, got hit by car... we made new friends police Finally solved it all by getting puddle a friend, susie. companion solved all the troubles our dog was bored.......... might be easier to add a friend on a trial basis and see if that fixes things. your local animal shelter would likely love a foster parent, and you can save a life and perhaps get your dog a friend while ending the behavior problem. no long term cmmitment, its worth a try and is the cheapest solution. |

I'll second this- the dog is probably just bored and lonely. Have you tried more 'inside time' with the rest of the pack? They are pack animals. They see their humans as their pack. If the humans don't give them any face time, they feel rejected, and try to move on. aem sends.... |

Grr... -Karen- I have a white Golden Retriever/German Sheperd mix that does that. One day, I saw her digging so fast that about all you could see was a steady stream of dirt flying through the air with an occasional glimpse of white fur. I just stood there and watched her for a minute waiting to see if she would realize I was watching. Finally, I yelled at her and she looked up at me and I looked at her and she looked at me. For a moment we just stood there looking at each other. Then finally, she took her nose and shoved two small scoups of dirt back in the hole and casually walked off as though nothing had happened. I filled the hole with some dirt and big rocks and that's been the routine ever since. I think I have finally won the battle of wills now since she doesn't dig under the fence much anymore. That's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind, I think. Now she digs in any bare spots she can find in the middle of the backyard and I dutifully fill them in whenever she does, but the problem with digging under the fence seems to have been solved. |

dog tunneling under chain link fence
Of course all here is just recommendations without guarantee but I did
do the following for a full size German Shepard. I dug a very shallow trench maybe 2 to 3 inches deep about 10 inches wide from the fence back into the yard. Then I affixed hog wire fence to the bottom of the existing fence ran it down to the ground and bent it back toward me to lay flat in the bottom of the shallow trench I made. Then I covered the trench with the sod I took out, kept it watered so it would grow. The dog tried to dig in three or four spots and gave up. Never tried to dig again other than a hole right through the solid core door. (An intruder got into the house and she was not going to have it.) Ripped the pocket right off the guy with some underwear. Nice thing about it, it was the pocket with his wallet. Very easy catch. dkhedmo wrote: Any ideas to secure the bottom edges of the chain link fence? New-to-us dog tunneled under the brand new fence and bolted.

Grr... -Karen- I built a dog run on the side of my garage and had the same problem. I solved it by putting a section of chainlink fence on the ground and covering it with a couple of inches of pea gravel. Not only did it stop her from digging it also keeps her from getting muddy. I rinse it down with the hose every once in a while and it works great. My dog run is 6' wide and goes the entire length of the garage with a dog door going into a pen inside the garage. Not sure if this helps you, but this is how I solved a similar problem. |

dog tunneling under chain link fence
Saw a similar one done with some old fencing.
They laid it along the ground, secured it to the bottom of the installed fence, then watered down the soil and walked on it to push it down into the soil. That part didn't work as well as they would have liked, so they let one of the tree cutting crews dump their chewed-up wood stuff in the back yard. Took a day to spread it out. Idea was to keep the fence laying on the ground from being caught by the lawn mower. After trying to dig near the fence, that dog gave it up. Also kept there from being such a rut along the fence. But I do think you could encourage to dog to stay home with a friend or more house time. wrote: Any other ideas?

Rather than just turning him out you should take him for a nice walk around the neighborhood. I would be good for both of you. After he eliminates then he can come into the house with you. Dogs are the most social of all animals and should not be just left alone for extended periods. I like the suggestion of adopting a playmate for your local shelter. One fix that hasn't been mentioned is concrete blocks around the bottom of the fence. It's not a great idea but it's quick and effective. Another fix is to place one strand of barbed wire at or near ground level this may have been mentioned. The best suggestions seem to be to bury wire in the ground. |

A hooked stake can be driven down, holding bottom of chainlink fencing and through the hardware cloth. Hardware cloth could be laid on top of ground to try it out. If the dog persists or goes around it, I would seriously consider trading him in. Animals that damage the home aren't pets, IMO. |

dog tunneling under chain link fence
Our dogs tunnel near the fence because my neighbor has dogs and they
want to talk to each other. :-) I haven't done anything yet, but for me, barbed wire it out of the question. I've been thinking about laying some sort of bricks or railroad ties along the side of the fence. It seems like if I do that in certain areas, they just relocated and dig elsewhere. So, I might just do it all along the fence and see what happens... |

People do that to cats all the time thereby saving their precious furniture at the expense of the cat's primary defensive and offensive weapon. Dogs don't use their claws/nails for anything except digging. No harm there. |

You wouldn't "trade-in" a toddler who left teeth-marks on the coffee table. Damage to property is something you have to accept from a member of the family. I like to garden, love to work in the yard. After all of the time and expense of getting a yard looking nice, I wouldn't want anyone or anything to ruin it. I'm not fond of huge animals kept in environs not suited to them, and think pit bulls and rottweilers should be outlawed. Too many people who keep pets either for "protection" or an ego trip, and the animal ends up killing somebody because it isn't properly cared for or confined. Have a neighbor with a rottweiler/mastiff which has been cited for attacking one animal, since injured another, and the moronic owner cannot control it and doesn't bother to use a muzzle any longer. Another neighbor brought his pit bull over to introduce it to a second neighbor's pet and the pit ended up killing the other dog. Folks forget that dogs aren't that far removed from wild animals and still have animal instincts. Big darn difference between pets and family. |

People do that to cats all the time thereby saving their
precious furniture at the expense of the cat's primary defensive and offensive weapon. Bull****. A cat's primary weapon is it's rear claws. The fronts are merely a warning of things to come. Cats without fronts have difficulty running away from trouble. They want to climb but can't so they get caught and beaten up a lot. It's a barbaric practice. Turning a fine animal into a powder puff is an awful thing to do. |

You're simply wrong. A cat's primary offensive and defensive weapon is the *BACK* claws. They are far more powerful than the fronts (no power in them at all). It takes power to run, climb and fight. The fronts (and spitting/showing of the teeth) are merely a warning to offenders. Those who de-claw cats are evil and should be shunned by other species, including humans. They are only one step above the scum that forms atop a septic system in likeability, but even that is far, far higher than vets who actually perform the procedure. You are a true idiot. -- Keith |

Because most cat fights are front end only a declawed cat usually get scratched pretty good every time leading to infections a leading killer of cats. No, the leading killer of cats is tires, followed by disease. Don't let your cats out and they'll live three times longer, on average. They'll also not **** off the neighbors. Another thing **** for brains. Do you really want your cats ONLY defense against a toddler to be it's teeth and BACK claws? Well since my toddler is now 28... No, asshole for a mouth, the cat's defense is to stay away from said toddler. Are you really this callous? Are you really this stupid, or did your mother think it becoming. |

String a shocker line from a Fi-Shock along the base of the fence. It will
take the dog about two times. Unless he is a knucklehead, and then it could take more than twice. If he hasn't learned by the tenth time he has been shocked, trade him for a goldfish. Steve |

Humans have spent hundreds (or in a few cases thousands) of years selectively breeding to get certain attributes from each breed. Do you actually think that physical appearance is the only outcome of that? Have you ever heard of training a pet? I guess not, your momma failed. -- Keith |
