So, first, we’ll figure out why the heck are your dogs so fixated with your fences, then we’ll get to the part where what can you do about it. Let’s go~
What Causes Dogs To Destroy Or Attack Fences?
As always, it’s best to understand the root cause of the problem to fix it properly. So, now, here’s why your dog is hostile towards your fence:
– Your dog thinks of the fence as a hurdle to its sense of freedom. So, to showcase the act of defiance, the dog actively nudges, barks, lunges at, bites, and/or growls at the fence.
– Sometimes your dog is just plain bored and has nothing better to do. In that case, the dog’s thinking is, might as well destroy the fence since it seems like a fun little distraction.
– Neigboring pets including dogs, either pets or strays, are causing your dog to act up, and in retaliation it is attacking your fence. Never underestimate power of rivalries in pets, especially dogs.
– Restlessness due to past traumatic events or high pent up energy is causing your dog to act up and attack your fence. This is a common occurrence and should be looked into before the aggression becomes harmful.
How Do You Stop Your Dog From Attacking And Destroying Your Fence?
Alright, now that we’ve covered the basic causes of why your dog is so hostile and destroying your fence, let’s focus on the things you can do to mitigate this behavior.
Use Heavy Blockades
The ideal obstruction that will protect your fence from your aggressive dog is a heavy blockade like rocks. Plus, they won’t look out of place either and fit in naturally if you have a garden.
Make Time For Your Pets
A huge way to remove the aggression hurdle from your dog toward your fence is to play with them. Make them expend their energy by including activities that require running, like playing fetch, or have them run circles around the house.
