I brought it on myself by buying a half-beagle, half-JRT, but my dog Spotty can't be let into the garden on her own because she escapes. All the neighbours in the street have brought her home at some point. I really need her to stay in the garden! Ironically, it was better after she was spayed as she couldn't get out of the garden with her cone on! I'm tempted to get a stash of cones and put them on her so she can go out and play safely.
The other thing I've heard about is shock collars, but I've just Googled them and I am not sure. Anyone tried these? Do they work and are they safe? I'm worried my dog would be shocked over and over again and just end up traumatised.
There's absolutely no way we can completely secure the garden so that a small and determined mutt can't get out.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome!
