Preventing Your Dog from Escaping Your Yard



If your dog gets out of your yard, he could get hurt, lost, hit by a car, or exposed to diseases from other animals. Thus it is important that you secure your yard. Check the perimeter fence for any breaches where your dog can slip through. Be especially diligent for any signs of digging since your dog could get under the fence too. You may need to bury chicken wire or cinder blocks at the fence line to prevent digging. Examine the gate and ensure that it is closed and secure at all times. Your dog may want to escape to breed, eat food or garbage, or play with other dogs or children. The most prevalent reason for escape attempts is that your dog is bored. Give him plenty of things to play with while in the yard. Don’t leave your dog alone in the yard for long periods of time. For more information, contact your veterinarian Burlington, ON.
