I really doubt there's a dog trainer on Bonaire, I really doubt that. I'll tell my friend to check just in case.
I don't know if leaving the dog in the house is a possibility for them.
I thought of maybe tying lulu to bufy and see if that stops her from jumping but I'm scared she'll hurt him.
About making the fence higher, it's not possible. Like I said before they live in a rented house. They could look for a house with a higher fence but that'll take time.
We'll keep on brainstorming  |
I wish there were more options and maybe some will have some but jumping a fence to go chase or explore is just such second nature it really would take a lot to train that instinct out of a dog. It would take intense, continuing training which continued in the house and the dogs just couldn't be expected to recall it every time if left out for long periods, I don't think. Would the home-owner allow them to string some type of wiring atop the fence or build or clip on a fence extension, such as appear in the link below?
Tying her up when no one is sitting out watching the dog is just dangerous and pretty cruel a way for a poor little dog to have to live it's life, to my thinking. How is it they wound up taking this home without a high fence knowing they had large dogs that could grow up to jump, I'm wondering?
Can they keep the dogs in the home and just allow them out for exercise and potty periods? Or build them an enclosed kennel run with a top on, consisting many square yards of space? Not ideal by any stretch but at least when no one is home, the dogs could stay in there?
Look at these pictures and see what you think. If they could install that internal fence shield that protrudes back into the yard and over the dog's head, that might work well and I'd really go after that home-owner to allow that if I were the doggie's parents! Otherwise, that little sweetie is going to go missing or get injured or worse! Googling fence extensions for dogs might bring you some more ideas.
