Owner Raises Fence to 7ft to Stop Dog Escaping—Camera Films Plan Backfiring
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog owner had to raise their garden fence to 7 feet because their dog kept jumping it, but their plan immediately backfired, and they caught it all on camera. In a viral TikTok video shared in May under the username @introvertsguidetolife, the poster's dog can be filmed running in circles near the fence, before successfully managing to climb to the other side of it in under 20 seconds. "Just added another 12" to the 6ft fence to stop him from jumping it … It didn't work," reads layover text in the clip. @introvertsguidetolife This #escapeartist can now jump a 7ft fence #baddog #dogsoftiktok #doglife FYI He only jumps when we leave the house (to try and come with us). We know this and keep him locked in a room when we leave so he can't get out. We specifically left the door open and walked out of the house to try and test the new fence height before we redid the entire fence at 7ft. He has never jumped the fence while we've been home with him. ♬ Bad Reputation - Joan Jett The poster says in the caption: "This escape artist can now jump a 7ft fence. FYI He only jumps when we leave the house (to try and come with us). We know this and keep him locked in a room when we leave so he can't get out. "We specifically left the door open and walked out of the house to try and test the new fence height before we redid the entire fence at 7ft. He has never jumped the fence while we've been home with him." While the poster's dog showed some impressive skills in the clip, most dogs are actually unable to jump higher than 6 feet. Of course, there are exceptions, including breeds such as Border collies, Australian kelpies, and German shepherds; all are known for their impressive jumping abilities and can occasionally clear 6-foot barriers. Typically, the best jumpers are young, energetic dogs, and those trained in agility. If you own one of these athletic breeds, you may need a fence taller than 6 feet to safely contain them. Fortunately, the average household dog doesn't have the ability to clear 6-foot fences. Smaller dogs, in particular, are unlikely to be able to jump that high. The current world record for the highest dog jump stands at about 6 feet 3.5 inches, achieved by Feather, a 2-year-old female greyhound, according to Guinness World Records. Thankfully, such extreme jumping ability is rare. Stock image: A dog jumps a country gate by trees.

One user, Brain Machine Broke, commented: "Everyday I am grateful my boxer/aussie isn't aware she can jump the 4ft chicken wire containing her despite knowing she can clear the couch." SARA posted: "The dog: wow look my mom upgraded my obstacle course to the next level!" WeenieHutJrsLifetimeMember added: "Y'all need to actually train and discipline him. Just adding more height seems to just challenge him to try harder to escape." Newsweek reached out to @introvertsguidetolife for comment via TikTok comments.
