Question
Yes, we have an adjoining 4 ft. chain link fence between us and the neighbors. Recently we added on extra fence, i'm talking ab out the add ons that have the barbed wire at the top (3 Strands)angled over at 45 degrees, to prevent our 2 big dogs from jumping over. well, they still are jumping. It's so frustrating cuz we spent alot of money to keep them in, they jump right over, can you suggest any way of keeping them in our yard where they belong? Thanks! Denise

Answer
HI DENISE
GO TO A TRACTOR SUPPLY, LOWES, ETC.  BUY AN ELECTRIC CHARGER, RUN WIRE ALONG THE TOP OR NEAR THE TOP OF THE FENCE ENTIRE WAY AROUND, SET THE CHARGER ON HIGH AND WATCH THEM STOP IMMEDIATELY.
I USED THIS FOR HORSES THEY WOULD SMELL THE ELECTRIC FENCING AND NOT GO NEAR IT AND ONE STRAND KEPT IN TEN HORSES ON TEN ACREAS.  NOT MUCH BUT THEY NEW BETTER.
ASK FOR ASSISTANCE FOR DOGS, WHAT SIZE WIRE TO USE, WITH THE CHARGER AND INSTALL IT IS QUICK AND WILL STOP THE JUMPERS IN THEIR TRACKS OR GET SHOCKED GOOD AS MY HORSES DID THOSES THAT WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO GET TOO CLOSE.
