Dog Profing

Dog-Proofing:


Fences. Check carefully for gaps, loose boards or bent bottom edges. Fix problems immediately. Move any woodpiles away from the fence. Can your dog jump, climb, or dig under the fence? Or break through the pickets? If there's a way to escape, a dog will find it - either to chase other animals, go after passers-by or to look for company. So don't leave your dog in the yard unattended.

Electric/invisible fences. Convenient - but risky. The shocks can be unhealthy. When the power fails, your dog may run off - subjecting the dog to injury...and subjecting you to a liability claim. Also, many dogs would rather be shocked than miss the chance to chase a squirrel (and they soon learn the shock stops after passing the barrier). Electric fences do not keep animal or human intruders out.

Gate latches. Can someone enter your yard or release your dog? Can your dog open the latch?

Screen doors. A dog can easily kick open or tear through screen doors.

Doggie doors. Block the door when you are not at home or cannot supervise your dog.

Block open stairs/railings using baby or puppy gates.
