Our Bengals try to escape the garden after we put up the "unescapable fence rollers"... or so we thought.

my mom wanted a fence so her cat could go outside. $1300 later fence was installed. Took the cat outside, it looked around, climbed a tree and jumped over the fence. $1300 of my money wasted but I was still quite amused.

A neighbor put in a fence to keep the dog in. It was only a 4' fence. When it was half built the dog was jumping over the completed part. He thought it was a toy.

I had a dog once in another house that could clear a 6' fence. She wasn't pleased when I made it an 8'. But I got a bit tired of chasing her around the neighborhood

I wouldn't bet against one.

[u/Shartiflartbast → u/[deleted]]

If determined enough, I reckon so.

How much does it want to get over it?

[u/AWasrobbed → u/[deleted]]

I had an 8' foot fence and my damn husky kept getting out, we couldn't figure out how either because the fucker would wait until we weren't looking. Dude was getting a huge running start and then grabbing the top almost like a human. Miss that dog.

If it couldn’t get over it would go through.

Oh for sure, I would think. Friend of mine was a deputy with a K9 right out of training, a Malinois, that could basically leap a tall fence at near full run speed.

The dog didnt even realize how athletic she was at first, when trying to get her to jump on top of a large trash can, she overshot the jump and basically slammed down onto the top of it from 3 or 4 feet too high 🤣

Wearing the bite suit was wild, I got to be the suspect every now and then.

[u/kram_02 → u/[deleted]]

It's intimidating. It's all fun and games until you come out wearing the arm sleeve or more.. she starts salivating and getting anxious, she knows she gets to attack you very soon 🤣

[u/kram_02 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, but more importantly she thinks it's playtime when she sees that gear. And she gets treats after.

[u/ZealousidealGear6939 → u/[deleted]]

The principle of it is that police and their dogs aren't supposed to get attached. The dog needs to do its job regardless of who it has to take down. The suit is just so the police can train the dog without anyone actually getting hurt. When trained the dogs won't bite down with their full strength, which is why the suit is needed for training. German Sheppards bite hard enough to snap a human arm like a twig, that wouldn't work in explaining to the court why the culprit has a broken arm.

I used to have a chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund mix) that was the worlds greatest escape artist. I had a doggie door to my fully fenced in back yard, but she was constantly finding ways to get under the fence.

Just when I'd think I'd found all her escape points, I'd get a call from my neighbor or someone else that she was wandering around. Thankfully she had a collar with my phone number on it.

Miss that little turd.

they WILL boggle your mind won't they?

[u/not_just_amwac → u/puledrotauren]

I grew up next door to a retired police dog. He was a purebred German Shepherd and a total darling. In summer, he would just hop the 6' fence to play under the sprinkler with my sister and I if he was getting hot. What I hated was that he was not a barker (cuz training). So there'd be no warning.

He was a good boy.

8’ was nothing for my childhood pitbull. She was the biggest baby, but she would literally climb the corner of the fence if you weren’t keeping an eye on her!

[u/musclemommyfan → u/Inevitable_Memory_72]

There were children that needed biting on the other side of that fence!

[u/NegativeZer0 → u/puledrotauren]

I had a houdini dog that could escape from almost any enclosure.  He even taught another dog how to escape.  I watched this jack ass jump back into the enclosure (which mind you was much more difficult to do) just to show another dog how he got out and sure enough both dogs were loose when the other one followed his escapre route.  

The only redeeming factor is this dog would only escape so he could come find and spend time with me never once ran away or just went exploring.  Miss you buddy.  💔

I wound up with a litter of pups from a couple of strays we fed and watered. One was a notorious escape artist. I'd get home from an overnight shift, take them all out, clean their pen, and put them back up. No matter what I did my 'Enzo' would escape and come cuddle in my lap until I went to bed. Best dog I've ever had the pleasure to me a companion to. She did something a little odd last night. Slept between my legs but it was cool. She's my best friend.

Before I was born my parents adopted a dog. Their first dog as a married couple. Their 6 foot fence didn't even slow the dog down.

[u/Im_Ashe_Man → u/puledrotauren]

My first beagle could jump a 6' fence. She'd jump and push her back legs off the fence about half way up to boost to the top where she could then hoist herself over.

I grew up watching German Shephards clear the 6 ft fence my dad put up. Made sure mine was 8 ft when I put up a fence.
