For little dogs no bigger than a large poodle needs a fence for the back yard and front. The bigger the dog the more chances the dog will jump the fence or dig under the fence. Some even break the fence. That’s why you need to get a well built fence that can be repaired or stop them from digging or jumping. Fences are perfect for dogs that need their energy knocked down.

A Dog Pen

Today, welders from all over the world make large pins for many animals. We don't mean the small pens you put dogs in to create train, but the big ones that have roofs and go outdoors. The bigger the dog the more reinforced the metal should be. They all will try to get out and often pull the fence apart. Good for all dogs to keep them in your yard.

This is a fence that has a device that’s put around the yard in the ground and has receivers. The dog has a collar around there neck that activates a small shock when they run or walk across the receivers. Just like a barking collar, but more effective. This will stop most dogs. However, larger dogs can surprise you and escape.

Neutering Your Dog

One of the main reasons a dog runs away is for a female or male scent. When your dog goes into heat or male smells one in heat, they will get out to mate.
