Hey everyone,
I am new around here, but have a suggestion. My female yellow lab became an escape artist at an early age. I tried burying bricks, large landscaping timbers, a hot fence, and even burying chicken wire around the base of the fence. Nothing seemed to work, she would dig deeper or slip through the tightest spots to get out. Then I read something interesting about poop. Labs are clean dogs and like potty areas separate from everything else. So I would put my lab's own poop around the fence line and it did the trick. Didn't take much at all and she seemed to learn the lesson. I did have to go through retraining with her when I moved recently :wink:
