I built a special dog pen behind my house a year before we ever got the chickens, ducks, and geese. My Belgian Malinois kept jumping over the fence, I swear he is part kangaroo, he can jump over a 5 foot fence easily. The Siberian Huskies kept climbing over. I got tired of chasing them down, so I built an escape proof dog pen, it has bricks sank into the ground to stop digging, and those things you see at airports and prisons holding barbed wire, on top to prevent jumping or climbing. It has worked very well to keep my 4 Siberians, 1 Belgian, and 1 rottwieller where they belong. But the chickens sometimes wonder right in front of the dog pen and all the dogs except the Rottie run and try to get them. The chickens, ducks, and geese have never gotten too close to the dog pen, they stay a few feet away, but the dogs always chase them when they see them.
Here is a picture of the top of my home made dog containment system.
Since 3 of the Siberians, and the Belgian are in dog agility, and are part of the agility demo team, they are very agile, smart, and fast. They have not gotten out, so I think I did a good job building their pen.
Here is Sasha with my youngest son, practicing the dog walk.
And here is Dawn, doing the teeter tooter off leash.
