Re: Re(2): [pyrnet] ANOTHER Pyr jumping fence

[Lisasark@aol.com]

Casper is only alone 4-8 hours on any given day and sometimes those hours are 
not consecutive.  I try to jog/walk with him whenever possible and we do 
obedience training.  Nothing hard core, but our vet reommended it to give him 
self esteem and piece of mind.  We have two children and another dog so there 
is alot of activity.

He just seems to miss us, because when he jumps the fence he does roam, but 
returns and waits for me by the garage.

I am going to explore the electric fence and 8 foot chain link option.  He is 
a great dog  but he does get irrationally distressed when we leave and I 
can;t let him wait for me by the front door.  The animal warden would not 
find it acceptable.



I have considered doggie day care, but the closes one is 30 minutes away and 
VERY expensive.  I am sure he would enjoy that.

He is great out of the crate.  As a matter of fact we never use it.  Once he 
was housebroken we left it up and he goes in and out, but we never confine 
him to it.  i only did it yesterday and today to keep him safe until i figure 
out the fence issue, but he broke out both days and now the crate is trashed!

Thanks for your concern and questions.  We will keep on plugging along.
