If you thought that investing in a dog fence system would stop your escape artist of dog from getting out of the yard, think again. He might immediately begin looking for ways to start digging under the fence to escape or he may even as we read, be studying the fence like a hardened criminal who is an accomplished escapologist.
So how do we 100% stop him from digging his way out. No fence is impenetrable to a canine, here are some basic ideas. Some people recommend using home remedies sprinkled in the hole, such as hot sauce, cayenne pepper, mothballs, and other seemingly harmless products, but they are far from harmless. Imagine getting cayenne pepper or hot sauce in your eyes. It would burn terribly, and a dog would not be able to wash it out as a human would. Mothballs are also not harmless.
In addition, many people recommend burying chicken wire or other fencing materials layered beneath the ground, deep enough to stop a dog from digging. This sounds like it would work, but do not count on it. Dogs can dig fairly deep, especially big dogs with huge paws with nothing better to do. A little chicken wire will not deter a digging dog intent on getting out. Instead of getting out, the dog can become caught beneath the wiring and end up seriously injured.
Some of the reasons why dog continue to escape are:
1. Separation anxiety: The old saying is true “absences make the heart grow fonder” or in a dogs case makes them chew. Anxious dogs chew everything in sight to relieve stress and anxiety when you are away. When your dog chews he or she is saying in a destructive manner “I love you and I miss you!”. So, when you do leave for work or to run errands don’t fuss over your dog this just makes it worse.
2. Boredom: Dogs are natural busy bodies and get bored very easily Their way of squelching their boredom is to chew, chew, chew some more. One of the main problems with the boredom reason is it encompasses so many factors such as pack structure, dogs are continually looking for pack members such as you, also the next door dog is on heat and this can be detected from up to 2 km away and is a great reason for a randy male dog to scale or dig or chew through a fence.
