| Fence Climbers My little rescued Yorkie boy is a fence climber. Yesterday, we caught him almost at the top of a 4' chainlink fence. Luckily, we think he won't be able to manager getting over, but he's definitely trying. Any ideas on how to deter him?

Be careful! I wouldn't be so sure he won't make it over. They are pretty agile. You might want to try putting those plastic privacy slats through the links. This will give him less to get a grip on. Just a thought.

| I have heard so many horror stories on YT about Yorkies making it over high fences that I watch my 4 like a hawk. Don't trust them outside without me. Well, I'm scared of a hawk snatching them, too.

| We have hawk concerns too. We actually have a side fenced area for the doggies to play in (the dog yard). So, we bought one of the big canvas carport covers with poles to cover the dog yard to keep them dry AND hopefully keep the hawks out. My wonderful engineer Hubby is going to put a net, slanted in on the top of fence. I didn't want them to have the run of the whole acreage, too many snakes, hawks, etc. It works well.
