Ok all, I am hoping for some good suggestions on this matter.
Dexter has been going under the fence to our next door neighbors yard now for a few months. The fence is wooden but has very big gaps in between each panel and has a huge gap running along the whole bottom side. It's got
cement that runs all along the bottom with it as well. We have put bricks, wood, concrete stepping stones ... basically anything we could think of to block the bottom part of the fence. We're thinking of using a wire mesh of some sort to run along the bottom, but because there's concrete, we can't just dig it in the ground, we're gonna have to nail it or something.
Somehow my little stinker knows of places that we obviously don't and manages to STILL go under the fence! Now, he's figured out that through her backyard, he can go through her rod iron fence in the front of her yard and go out to the FRONT of the houses!
Our OTHER next door neighbor kid came to our house the other day telling us Dexter was in her front yard and gave him back to us. Needless to say, we're running out of ideas and are having to go out with him
every single time he wants/needs to go out, but would like to not have to do it
every time. Even when we DO go out with him he will sneak over there! Like last night, we were sitting outside and he managed to sneak under the fence again. We called him and called him and he was literally HIDING over there and not making a peep, so we thought he got out in the front and ran off. After about 15 to 20 minutes, he finally made himself known and refused to come back! We had to coax him back with a treat (which he did NOT get btw).
Do you all have any other ideas that might help us contain our little 4 pound escape artist?
