A Desperate Cry For HELP!
Hi everyone, the pups Mom here. We are really having a hard time keeping the little "darlings" inside the fence now that they've grown (big surprise to everyone, I know). When we prepared for them we did the chickenwire with concrete thing under the grass under the fence line. Digging really isn't the problem (they like to do that where I can break my ankle in the holes, lol), they push together on the fence & crawl under it. We have taken heavy duty long metal stakes & staked down the fence 3 per section & still they manage to get out. Thought I had it taken care of last night as Macie led me to a week spot & I reinforced it. But then this morning, here comes my neighbor & his wife carrying them back, which is no easy task. I am scared to death something is going to happen to my babies & I would be totally devastated! So I'm wondering if any of you have dealt with this issue & if you could offer some helpful solutions. Several months later, it's apparent that chainlink was not the way to go with these two. Any help you all can offer would be very much appreciated!

You may not want to hear this ... but our parents never let us go outside without one or both of them being there. Actually we usually walk and walk and walk and (keep repeating) ... with them rather than them letting us husky around in the back yard. :) So - tons of time, but safer for us. And it's a great time to work on training and to bond. Before we were deemed "trustworthy" (relative term) in the house, we were crated if the bipeds were both gone. It's not easy - but that's how it is for the Ao4.
Hope that helps. It's not the right solution for everypuppy, it's just our way.

Lex was my initial husky type dog and he was always escaping. They can manipulate a small opening into a big one! No one has gone
through the fence at this house, but there is actually a series of chain link fences they'd have to go through to escape this way. I don't let them out of the big fenced in area unless I walk the fence line to ensure there's no holes.
Meepie has leaked out of the gate a couple times when visitors have not been careful.
Huskies will keep you on your toes. You just need to be constantly aware.

We reinforced our fence with cattle panels, cut in half lengthwise. We drove them into the ground along the fence line and used heavy duty wire to wire the top of the cattle panel to the bottom of the chain link, each and every link. This was a chore but we did the 4 acre dog yard and it has worked now for five years. Good luck.
Macie and Malechie's mom, please e-mail Meeshka's human woman, you can reach her at the e-mail link on Meeshka's blog at the top (she reads all of my e-mail, the sneak), she has some ideas for you.
