What are some solutions to keep her from doing it.

its a 4' hurricane fence, older house with lots of mature trees, digging holes for privacy fence would be torture. and its only one run of fence so im not sure how a wire and shock color would would work.

TIA for the help and recommendations

I had a cur dog that could climb like a monkey...

stretched a single hot wire around the top of the fence about an inch from the top...I watched him get shocked one time and he never climbed again...

in fact, if you can borrow a fence charger from someone for a week, that would be all you need...

4'?? My GSP clears that without breaking a sweat. No climbing necessary.

If she is climbing it, I would run a hot line 6 inches or so above the fence. She touches that a few times, and she won't want to climb it any more.

not really a climb, plants her front paws on the cross bar up top and one motion pulls her back legs to the top and lunges over.

my wife feeds her well, so she is a lil husky

Feed her a little more, then she won't feel like jumping a fence.

black lab climbed a 6 foot privacy fence, with no horizontal boards.

The only thing keeping my 14 year old border Collie in the yard is the fact she can't jump that high anymore fences were just toys for her until a few years ago.

I had a fox terrier growing up that would hop over a 7' privacy fence like it was nothing. She never climbed or jumped the chain link. She would jump the back fence, then jump the neighbors, then round the corner and jump the fence across the street to go for a swim. Thankfully, the lady across the street loved her and would just let her swim, then towel her off and bring her home.

Install a underground wired fencing system but zip tie the wire to the fence. The only digging will be getting the signal from your house to the fence; depending on the layout. A tip I will share is to purchase larger gauge wire so that it does not break. Google dog fence diy and research. A lot of good info!

Forgot to add that I have the petsafe yard max and it has been awesome
