We have a syndey silky who is 4 1/2 years old. Ever since she was a pup she has been determined at times especially when the weather is raining heavily or stormy or with fireworks , to escape our property.
Initially she was ok and we had her with a secure fenced deck but she was seen climbing the trellis one night!!
We now have two dogs and Oscar the younger dog sleeps in a ct=rate at night whilst molly is able to sleep in a basket upstirs in our living room. she makes no effort to escape during the day when i am out for short periods. it is mainly at night or when we are out at night.
We have fenced a larger area but have had to net this as well and she has chewed holes in shade netting and pulled holes in chicken wire.
She is very determined and now escapes over the gated area at noight into the larger fenced area but at the moment cant get any further.
She has access to the house through a cat flap which she has used since little. In other ways she is reasonably obedient and gets on ok with the younger dog which is a miniature poodle cross and fairly bouncy.
Molly is other wise a lovely dog but we are feeling very frustrated by her determination to get to us at night because her main objective is to get to our bed and sleep there!
We are planning to use the innotek containment system as we feel that we have little choice.
Feedback woould be appreciated
