JackieMaya Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 I had previously posted about Maya's incessant night time barking at the nocturnal critters, and the citronella spray collar has taken care of that. It works great! And now Maya learned how to get over the fence. At the back of our property, the ground is lower so the fence is lower. She got out twice in one day (I saw both times). The first time she just went across the block and into someone's garage so I was able to catch her. The second time it took me about 45 minutes to find her! I was VERY nervous. I put Jackie in my SUV and drove around the blocks and finally found Maya two blocks from where she jumped out. She happily jumped right in the back seat. So... now when Maya goes in the back yard, she gets hooked up to a real long cable so that she can't jump out. She can still use most of the big yard, and she and Jackie can still play and run. And at night, Maya gets her citronella collar too. So I have my "special needs child" under control now, and she's happy as can be out on her cable when they're outside. Jackie is so smart, that if she doesn't want to play, she lies down just out of reach of Maya. LOL. Quote
JackieMaya Posted May 17, 2003 Author Posted May 17, 2003 Today I was in the back yard with Jackie and Maya (Maya was on her long cable), and I was just going over to talk to my neighbor over the fence, and the girls started playing and running. :Dog_run: Well... they ran around a big bush which happened to catch and unfasten Maya's collar. So she did one quick lap around the back yard before she leapt over the fence. So I hopped in my SUV and drove to the next block, and she happily jumped in the back seat. I might have to raise the fence in the back even though Maya's on a cable! And I'm going to put TWO collars on her in the back yard so that if she happens to undo the one the cable is attached to, she'll still be wearing one with ID on it! She was loose with no collar on after hers came unfastened! :eek2: She's my little angel! :lilangel: I love her anyway. :P Quote
Malamum Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 Hang in there. It sounds as though you are on top of things, though making the fence higher sounds like a good idea. We went for a 6ft timber pailing fence. There is no way on earth Indy is getting over that. :D Quote
Barbiro Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 Spikes? :o :o :o :o Wow!! I can't picture a dog climbing an 8 ft wall unless they're part wolf. Those have been known to climb them. Quote
