Man Builds Electric Fence but Dog Outsmarts Him Instantly

A Grand Pyrenees Intelligent captured the hearts of Internet users after having thwarted its owners not once – but twice – in a history of viral escape which has won more than 3.2 million views on Tiktok.
The superimposed text on the video, published by Samantha Vicha (@ samantha.vicha), said that the determined dog initially digging under a fence in the courtyard, causing a creative intervention of its owners. He added: “My husband spent [three] Hours putting the electricity along the bottom of the fence so that it stops digging. “”
Two days later, the ingenious Pyrenees called Haleesi found an even more impressive escape route: it spread and jumped through a small gap above the electric line, completely bypassing the new barrier without sweating.

This talent for escape cannot surprise those who know the great Pyrenees. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says that these dogs were historically raised to keep cattle on mountainous land, often working alone and making decisions independently.
Although the race cannot always jump to obey orders, early training and socialization can channel this intelligence in the faithful company. The instinct of the great Pyrenees to wander, keep and find their own solutions is deeply rooted in their DNA.

The viral video has resonated largely, with owners of the Pyrenees and other dogs who walk with their own canine ruse stories.
“My wife chewed my man’s electric neck so that they can both escape together,” posted a user. Another added: “My great Pyrenees lives in the local general dollar and sometimes visits me at home.”
Others admired the ingenuity of the dog. “I mean it worked! I saw zero digging!” A user commented. Vicha replied: “It’s a way to watch it.”
Another fan simply said: “It is a problem solving.”
7 ways to keep your dog in the courtyard
Here are some intelligent AKC ways to keep your Houdini on all fours safe in the courtyard where they belong:
1. extend your fence
The increase in the closing height is not your only option. Instead, add a higher extension that tilts inward. This visual and physical barrier discourages the jump and the climbing.
- A Lean-in is made by fixing a farm or a mesh at an inner angle compared to the top, forming an overhang of the awning type which visually dissuades climbing.
- An L-FOOTER works similarly but extends horizontally in the inside of the top of the fence. The two give the impression that the fence continues on the courtyard, confusing and dissuading escape attempts.
2. Eliminate climbing aid
Watch your courtyard and remove anything near the fence that could serve as a step in place. This includes:
- Firewood batteries
- Recycling trash can or trash
- Patio furniture
- Game equipment
- Large rocks or landscaping characteristics
3. Install coyote rolls
These ingenious devices are long, turning bars mounted on the top of the fence. When a dog (or coyote) tries to grab the hand, the bar turns – making it impossible to get traction. Originally designed to prevent fauna, they are just as effective in keeping pets. Complete kits are available online and include supports and final ceilings.
4. Use landscaping as a barrier
Plant shrubs or thick hedges inside the fence. Not only do they add beauty and intimacy, but they also increase the difficulty of getting close enough to jump.
5. Install a lotter L
Plip from digging by fixing a chicken wire, a hardware cloth or chain link fences at the base. Extend it along the ground inside the courtyard (L-shaped).
- For a clearer appearance, you can bury it.
- Or, leave it on display and weigh it down with mulch, stones or planters.
6. Pour a concrete footer
For persistent diggers, a concrete barrier is the ultimate solution. Pour a strip along the entire fence perimeter and incorporate the lower edge of the fence directly. This creates a solid and unshakeable base.
7. Block the view
Many dogs are triggered by what they see outside the fence. Reduce visual stimulation to keep them inside.
- For chain link fences, drip the plastic slats through the mesh.
- Attach bamboo or reed fences to any type of fence using zipped links – it is affordable and efficient.
- Plant rapid growth vines or climbing shrubs along the fence (but protect them until they are established).
