How to Keep a Dog from Jumping a PVC Fence

Keeping a dog from jumping over a PVC fence is in the best interest of the dog, the dog owner and people it may potentially bite. A dog can jump over a PVC fence and end up getting hit by a car. The dog may be frightened by a person and bite him or her. There are several methods that you can use to stop a dog from jumping over a PVC fence.

• 
  

  Use a dog chain when your dog is
  outside. This is an option that will keep your dog inside the fence. Make sure that the dog chain has enough length and
  gives your dog enough freedom to roam. The dog chain can be secured
  to a heavy object or a stake placed into the ground. Simply walk
  your dog outside and attach the dog to the dog chain.

  Use a wireless dog fence. This is
  another option that can stop a dog from jumping over a PVC fence.
  Wireless dog fences can be purchased at a local store or via the Internet. Make sure the wireless dog fence is the right size for the
  physical fence you are trying to keep the dog from jumping.

  
  


• 
  

  Plant bushes in front of the
  PVC fence. This is yet another way to stop a dog from jumping over the
  fence. Make sure that the bushes are large enough to block the dog
  from gaining any momentum for a jump attempt. Make sure that the
  bushes block the dog from being able to use the PVC fence as
  leverage.

  Be sure to remove any objects
  located by the PVC fence that the dog can use to jump off of and
  over the fence.
