Dog training question. Is there really a class to train a dog to stay within boundaries?
March 28th, 2009Ok my friend has a german shepherd who will not stay in here fenced property, even though its large enough for 3 large dogs this german sheperd seesm to prefer to jump the fence due to owner anxiety cause she has only had this dog for a month and a half and the previous owners had a wooden fence and sheltered the dog in the back yard and inside, so the dog doesnt know what a car is.
Well my friend bought a 6ft fenced in kennel for the dog since her regular fenced in area is 4ft or basic size fence, and the dog made 6 holes in the gate, but she was not left in there for hours this dog put in a few wholes within a 25 minute period while my friend had someone fixing her AC system in the house. The first two weeks she did fine outside as long as my friend had her back door open so the dog could go in and out, but one day my friend had to run to the store and took longer then she expected, got back home and the dog was gone, thanks to tags on her collar and some good people the dog was returned to her. She now has had the dog micro chipped.
Her german sheperd is worth alot more then what she bought her for, but the previous owners had a wooden fenced in area, and my friends father who owns the house she lives in will not allow her to put in a new fence for a stubborn dog as he says. He told her to just get rid of her but she refuses she is determined to keep her.
She asked me to find info on electric fences for dogs and the advise that was given was honest but disappointing on results.
-Someone said the dog can be trained but this dog has gone through obedience class and knows leave it, but no matter how much you yell leave it at the fence she will jump it, even if the back door is open now due to her freaking out.
–Now this dog is mostly inside the house and supervised when outside, but even when supervised she will hit a corner of the house and by the time my friend gets there the dogs behind is already going over the fence and my friend has to run her down in the neighborhood till the dog is worn out. Also this dog is walked/ran twice a day and if not twice at least once and still i think she misses her previous owner who moved overseas to live with there son and could not take the dog with them.
My Question is: What class is there to train a dog to stay within boundaries and not to hop a fence. What would it be called cause all the training info i looked up for her online within our area is only obedience training and it lists what is taught and she knows all that. So what is it called and what would she be looking to see listed to be trained to this stubborn animal.
