We have a foster dog now that has the athletic ability to jump over a 6 foot privacy fence. With relative ease. She can jump over from either side.
We may have her for a while, for she is not easily adoptable, but that is a subject for another thread.

So, I'm looking for ideas of how we can better contain her in our backyard. For now, we just watch her when she is outside, and limit her time out there. I guess the ultimate thing to do is to surround the yard with an underground fence and put one of those shock collars on her.

TIA

What kind of dog? You could put a shock collar and every time it goes to the fence, give it a little poke. It will get the point.

You can always add some ugly lattice to the top of the fence or put a net

Not too often. That I know of. Today, I caught her jumping over and then she immediately jumped right back.
She sort of climbs on the side that has the horizontal 2x4's , but she just scales the side that has the flat boards. Basically just jumps up to the top and pulls herself over.

If you plan on keeping the dog, put rollers at the top that stretch the length of your fence. They are typically uses for 'coons (the animal kind) to prevent them from entering your closed-in property.

Install a coyote roller

They dont jump over the fence, they climb it.

Pure bred mutt. She's still a puppy, maybe 8 months old. She's small to medium sized, weighs about 25 - 30 pounds.

Every time they get close to the fence run Tabasco sauce under their lips. Works for potty training.
