Trying To Get Out
Dogs with sufficient motivation to get out can quickly dig a hole under a seemingly secure fence and squeeze through amazingly small spaces to freedom.
For dogs that dig to try to get out, whether in the garden or in the house, you need to find out why he is not content to stay where he is. If your dog manages to escape, he could get injured by traffic or could cause an accident for which you may be financially liable, so tackle this problem as soon as possible. For dogs that dig under garden fences, go to 'Escaping And Running Away'. For dogs that try to get out of the house when you leave them alone, go to 'Separation Problems'.
