How do I keep T-Bone from jumping the fence?

Barneys New York’s 2009 Holiday window display, Have a Witty Holiday, was inspired by the 35th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. The windows, designed by Simon Doonan, featured tableaux of memorable moments, depicted with paper-mâché caricatures, from the show.
Barneys New York was founded in 1923 when Barney Pressman opened his first store in Manhattan with money he raised by pawning his wife’s engagement ring. In 1970, the original four-level store on 7th Avenue and 17th Street was expanded an additional floor and a new five-story adjacent building before relocating to its current location on Madison Avenue and 60th Street in 1993.
Question by MotherBear1975: How do I keep T-Bone from jumping the fence?
I live on base, so I cannot change the actual fence. I had corrected the problem by using bamboo fencing to raise the height, but, it turns out bees love that stuff and were building hives on it! So, it had to go. Now, he’s an indoor dog, I just don’t like to leave him cooped up if I know I am going to be gone for more than a couple hours… he has broken every collar I’ve tried to chain him with, so that isn’t the answer. I guess what I want to know is another way to raise the height of my fence, that I can take down in 43 years, and will stand typhoon winds. I don’t have access to regular hardware stores, I’m living in Japan. Any ideas?
3 years, not 43 years! typo!
He does get walks every day. And I really think he just enjoys aggravating me! He follows a very predictable pattern, first he goes to visit his friend Patch, then, when he sees me coming he takes off to visit the Bostin a few doors down, next there’s the pug and the doxie next door, and Last is Joey, our closest neighboring Pitt. After he’s said hello to all his friends (all male, I might add) he will do his little dance with me and finally let me catch him. I really think he just enjoys aggravating me!

They make an anti jump harness that restricts a dogs ability to extend their legs enough to jump. Good luck!!

are you giving him walks when you get home? some dogs act up cause the need exercise. especially big dogs. make sure you are spending time with it playing and walks when you are home. maybe you could also use another material for the fence that bees wont make hives on. have you thought about a metal material?

Tom2364’s Idea.
Or there is this other alternative.
There is a collar that your pet can wear. It is not a zapper. And it is a zapper. It’s very hard to word this correctly but… it shocks them enough to say NO BAD DOG but not enough to give them a permanent twitch for life.
You set a barrier that comes with the collar.
Its like a spike you run into the ground. When your pet tries to pass over this barrier, the collar will initiate a small shock or tingly feeling to your pet, giving him the idea that he is not meant to pass the fence/barrier.
Think of it like… a Target store. The shoplifting detectors at the entrance is mainly the same idea. But instead of a beep and the police beating the dog poop outta you, you get a shock from the collar.

I love your dogs name!!
He is fixed? A rodeo entertainer I met trains his critters to go up onto his truck and trailer. I talked with him on how he trains his critters to do this. He said he digs a hole and puts the truck and tailer in it. Why couldn’t you dig a whole around your fence?(ya I no be a pain but…..) Or maybe find a place that sells (or make it) a attachment to your fence that makes the fence look like a r pointed into your yard that will make it hard for him to jump out?
Why is he getting out? Is there something over the fence he likes so much? I guess you could buy him a big kennel that has the roof on it? Put him in that when you are not watching him? These can be shipped to you from the states….best thing is you can take it with you if you are called elsewhere……A hundred and fifty to 2 hundred would get you started probably, without shipping (Japan is so spendy to ship things to I no :0(
Well here are some ideas hope it helps? Good luck!

We had the same problem with our Pitt bull. He is a house dog, but every time that we let him outside by himself he would jump the fence. Then we took him in and had him fixed and he no longer feels the need to jump the fence.
