Do you have a video on training for the invisible fence? Or best video I should use to help train my dog to stay in the yard?
Full Question:
I have a two year old German Shepherd. This is a rescue dog that we have had a little over a week. It has jumped over my block wall several times. I have extended the wall height where I could. I would like to put an invisible fence on the wall. The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County said you had a video on training for the invisible fence. I could not find it. I am assuming the Remote collar training is the one they were talking about. It is fine when we are around, but within minutes of our leaving she is gone.Please advise the best video I should use to help train my dog to stay in the yard. Any other advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

This dog needs to kept in a secure crate or kennel with a top on it when you leave. You’ve only had the dog a week, and many rescue dogs are worried about being abandoned or they develop separation anxiety. I feel the remote collar is a wonderful tool, but you haven’t even established a relationship with the dog yet.
We have a q & a section on rescue dogs. They typically come with their own set of issues.
Here are my recommendations for a new dog.
I’d start with our Groundwork program and the video that picks up where the article leaves off - Pack Structure for the Family Pet.
Give her a safe and secure place to be when you can’t supervise her or when you need to leave home. We do recommend the invisible fence systems in conjunction with a solid barrier, but I would not leave any dog alone until we had established clear leadership first (for an adult dog that will be much longer than one week).
Once the dog is settled in and you have a nice handle on the relationship, then obedience training on leash and with the remote collar at that time (if you decide to go that route).

I hope this helps.
