How to Keep Your Dog Inside Your Privacy Fence

This is super cheap and Simple. If you're saving money to buy an electric fence and don't want to bury dog doo-doo, then here are a couple of temporary ways to keep your dog from digging out of your privacy fence. This wasn't temporary for me. I used it as a permanent way to keep my dog in, and other dogs out. I had a lab and a great Pyrenees (150 lbs!).

Instructions

    • 1

      Sprinkle Tobasco Sauce on the ground at the bottom of your fence. This worked so well with my Lab ,and her puppies, that we never had to do anything else. This is a very quick fix until you find something more permanent if needed. Check after mowing or a good rain to see if you need to reapply.

      Using Cayenne Pepper works the same way.

      Sprinkle on the other side of the fence if you have a female on the inside. It keeps out unwanted "visitors."
