Fence for GSD

I would do 6' MINIMUM! I have seen gsd's scale 6 ft walls before. I think it depends on the dog. How big is she, and how athletic is she? A dog that runs everyday, does agility ect is going to be able to jump a fence easier than one that lays on the couch all day. And also would she actually try to jump it? We have a little mutt that only weighs 35 pounds and he can jump a 4' fence easily, and pobably higher but he won't unless we give him a command to do so. Have you given any thought to an electric fence?

 

I could never keep my gsd in when we had her she actually climbed the chain link fence so we put a privacy fence up and she still found a way to get over it. I even tried putting electric fencing around the top and that didnt even work. Hope you have better luck than me. Lol

 

VERY, VERY TALL and VERY, VERY STRONG

 

i miss my gsd, she was a wonderful dog, loved people, very dog aggressive though, she liked my other dogs but as long as she was the boss, but she'd fight any strange dog that came up to her, i found her dead one day out of the blue, she torsioned while i was sleeping one day, i got home from work that morning fed everybody and when i went outside around 7pm she was dead in her kennel, poor girl, i hate that i was sleeping while this process was going on, my dad lived beside me and mowed my grass and thought there was something wrong with her but didn't wake me up, go figure, back on subject, i'd get a 6 foot fence so she couldn't jump it or have people reaching over it

 

6 ft minimum. We had one that could scale a 6 ft fence. It just depends on her. The GSD we have now wouldnt jump out of a three foot fence, unless you threw his stick over it... Oh, those yummy sticks!
