If you gouge out her eyes, she won't know where the fence is anymore to jump over it.

i don't know much about electric collars or w/e, but if jumping the wall puts her in danger, might be something you wanna check out?

or else take her for walks, you lazy faggot

My suggestion would be to do one of two things, as drastic as they sound... either dig a trench along the inside edge of the fence so that if she tries to jump it, she'll fall down a foot or so and not have the springboard effect.. due the physiology of a dog's legs, having the last step being a one foot drop would greatly hinder her jumping ability.. the other one is to get some 4x4x10s and run some chicken mesh along the top of the fence. Either way is bound to make your house look like a penitentiary but believe me, I've had to do more drastic things. I had a dog that managed to figure out how to open the handle, take off a bungee clip holding the fence shut, dig under, chew through, break down a fence, jump over, climb through grid chickenwire over the entire cage (Don't ask me how that happened, I have no idea.), lift the pen up OFF the ground weighted down by 200lbs.. It can be much worse. Judging by the size of your dog.. you could be in for some real fun.. Good luck.

That has got to be the single most awsome looking dog out there. I envy you....

Where does she end up? Have there been any changes in your family or surroundings?
I suggest you do two things:
Find out why she is jumping the fence in the first place and try to make a positive change - I think she may be upset somehow.
Increase the height of the fence, use cheap wooden planks or beams if you want. Put them on the ground also, to prevent digging.
I will check back in a couple of hours to answer more questions, but think about what I asked you.

I used to have a big dog, a Samoyed/Golden Retriever mix that we eventually gave up on stopping him from running away when he really wanted to because like>>225217he was a fucking escape artist. He learned how to open doors as a pup and since then he could leap and tunnel under fences and jimmy his way through small gaps. He'd only do it once in a blue moon and unless he didn't get caught and thrown in a pound he'd always be back within a few hours or a day and just waltz right up to the front door, wait for us to open it and just walk in like nothing happened. He was a very affectionate and nice dog and we played with him a lot and he absolutely adored people, especially us, and he had a very large yard but every once in awhile, he'd just leave. I don't think there's any particularly profound reason why his dog might be running away, especially if he comes back on his own. I always assumed ours left whenever nearby dogs might be in heat, he saw something he wanted to kill or was just plain bored. He often seemed to hunt for fun, because he never ate anything he killed, he'd pounce on birds and moles occasionally, but never would they amount to anything but corpses in the yard. He lived for a very, very long time too. One of my earliest memories is getting him as a puppy and he didn't die until I was about 17. And even up until his old age, he seemed incredibly healthy. He loved to run laps around the yard, and he'd dash like a fucking horse, he was incredibly fast. I miss him :<

Get a line of electric wire or something to zap her at the top of the fence, right where she'd clear the top.

It stopped my neighbor's dog from hopping into our backyard to give my chihuahua some lovin'.

My Sister used to have a male rottweiler and a female cocker spaniel. The Spaniel being the escape artist. She'd wait till the rotty was up near whatever she wanted to get up to, then use him as a step or springboard.

Like, Sis used to keep the bags of dogfood in the garage, of which there was a broken window in one of the back garage doors. Rotty would nose up to the door and the spaniel would springboard off his back and jump thru the window. Sis's hubby had some stuff stacked up inside the garage near the missing window, so the spaniel had no problems getting back out. Took sis awhile to figure out, why the spaniel always seemed to have a diminished appetite.

Later tho, the next door neighbor, took to feeding them treats. The neighbor's dog had passed away, so I guess she had loads of those treats left over, or maybe she was buying them, strickly for Sis's two dogs, I'm not really sure. Anyhow, the rotty would raise up, standing against the fence to get the treats, and the spaniel would use him to springboard over the fence, so she could not only get treats for herself, but also get pettings from the old lady. Course, she didn't get to hog it all for herself for long, as the rotty got ticked and finally took a running start and plowed headfirst through the wooden fence. Old lady nearly had a heartattack, but the rotty got his share of the treats and pettings.

How does she do this? I don't think even a large dog can clear a backyard wall in one bound, there has to be a section of the wall that the dog touches and hoists itself up on.

Take note of where she seems to touch and place somthing that the dog would find difficult to touch - say, a row of nails hammered halfway in.

If the wall IS low enough for her to clear in one bound, then place something at the point where she makes the jump like>>225217says.

Grandfather used to use an electrified wire. Wasn't anything that could do permanent damage. Brother and I found that out, a few times, after playing with the dogs and falling onto the wire. Anyhow, he had it set about a foot out from the fence and a foot high off the ground. Kept the dogs from digging under or going over, the fence. Hell, dogs thought the entire fence was electrified and wouldn't go near it at all.

I use electric wire, four of them in sections all around my backyard. One on top, one on bottom, the rest evenly spaced in between. This prevents climbing, digging, and jumping.

My brother had a beagle who used to jump out of the pen. Had a 8 foot wooden fence running the perimeter of the yard, then he'd build his pen for his dog, in one corner of the yard, using mesh wire, 6 foot high. Dog would springboard off the wooden fence, to jump over the wire fence. Brother's fix to this, was to attach a heavy chain to the dog's collar, with the chain hooked to a 15 pound pipe. Dog could still move about freely, but couldn't jump over the fence anymore. This setup, led to two benefits tho. First, His dog was one of the friggin most buff beagles, I've ever seen. Dog had some major muscle going on. And Second, brother never had to mow the grass in the pen. Dog, dragging the pipe around, kept the grass down.

When I first saw this setup, I thought it was rather cruel. I was always expecting to hear how the dog had hung itself, jumping over the fence, then getting suspending off the ground by the chain and collar. But, the chain had enough weight, by itself, to keep the dog from being able to jump up high enough on the fence to use it as a springboard. And the dog didn't seem to mind, dragging around the pipe. At least, the dog seemed happy enough.

She can leap a 6 ft wall in one bound and she wants out just because its there, she likes to explore really. trying to put some wood.. things up to make it taller, working for most of the yard.

Rent a Ditch Witch ( http://www.ditchwitch.com/ ), and as someone already mentioned, dig a ditch near to your fence line?
