Riv in her favorite observation point. Her front feet are always on the first step down.

Don't you love that? I've always liked how Dobermans look a bit chubby when they sit like that and you view them from the back. Hey, how do you like your aluminum fence? We are about to sign a contract to get some installed, including a 9-10 ft. driveway gate. Looks like ours is a different brand than yours, but how do you like yours? Your Dobes don't try to jump the 4' fence?

We only have it in the one section you see here but so far it has been just fine. We train boundaries from the beginning so a short fence has never been a problem. Riv will chase squirrels up to the fence and stop with her nose through the bars. In our previous house the only thing separating sections inside was one of those 2ft wood and plastic baby gates. Even when a cat would run through the room and fly over it the dog in chase always stopped at the gate. It isn't about the size of the barrier if the dog understands to respect barriers. Now, that said, they will put feet up on it and stretch over for petting if someone is there.

We have the same type of fence, I think ours is 4 1/2 ft high, it is so amazing! It will never rust, its light weight, its durable, and the dogs respect it just like any other fence. It looks so much nicer than chain link, and I have gotten so many compliments on it. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one.
Boom. That looks just like the brand we might get. Of course I know some brands look alike, but anyway. We, after long deliberation, have decided to get the spear-top instead of the flat top like that. We'll get arched gates too on some of the gates.
The company that makes the fence we're getting is called Ultra. Supposedly their fence is stronger and their powder coating is more durable. Who knows though.
We have a veggie garden we just built alongside our house and we are going to do 4' there. We figure the deer are gonna jump it even if it's 6' high. Then we're gonna do 5' for the front of the yard toward the street. Given that it's heading uphill as you go toward the front of the house, we don't think our boy will be too inclined to try to jump it.
The rest of our yard is going to be 6' high cedar privacy fence. I wan't maximum privacy and don't want anyone to be able to try to interact with my Dobe through the fence.

That's good training you've done there! I've not yet dealt with a fence jumper unless you count one of my childhood dogs. I do intend to teach Oji to jump fences though, just as I have my previous Dobes. Sometimes I want/need them to. So I am erring on the side of safety by assuming I won't be able to convince him to not try to jump out of our yard.
I absolutely love vinyl fencing were talking to our neighbors next door and see if they will pitch in to change out the old wooden fence and get vinyl. We share the fence kinda a pain

Dream come true. We don't feel the fear that our Doberman is going to attack our girl.
Napping is the greatest thing ever never wake a sleeping Doberman
