I think an underground fence or an electric fence that has a home base (see link below) might be the best solution. Petsafe is a good company who makes these products. It shouldn’t scare her further away but it should keep her inside the boundaries. I would keep the level on low to keep her from becoming scared to go in the yard. This is the safest thing to prevent her from getting out and either getting lost or injured. There is also a GPS tracking device for the collar called whistle that you can use to keep up with her if she still gets out. I hope this helps. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-wireless-instant-fence-pet-containment-system?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o3&scid=scplp692131&sc_intid=692131&cm_mmc=PLA-GG-_-PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY17_SCShopping-Mobile-_-Non+VIP-_-92700026257943398&kwid=p26257943398&device=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjtH4nPzz1wIVh4WzCh05bAl_EAQYAyABEgJ1sfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I like this idea. Electronic fences can be a great solution. The caveats: some dogs will get so excited by something (bird, squirrel, etc) that they ignore the shocks and keep right on going. Use the collars EXACTLY as recommended. I have seen plenty of horrible neck wounds from collars left on too long. Best of luck to you and the dogs!

One option that can work for dogs who like to escape are under ground electric fences. You can purchase one and install it yourself and go through the training or the companies offer an instillation and training service. The dog needs to wear a special collar that detects the fence and will administer a correction if the dog gets too close. Most dogs will respect this system although some dogs will not. I recommend to do some research about these systems and see if they area good match for you. It is very difficult to train a dog not to escape and I don’t know many people who are successful at that. Otherwise never leave Miley unsupervised in the yard as this will elimate her ability to get out. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Underground fences can be an effective, safe option to keep dogs contained. You do have to be aware that it is not 100% effective for all dogs. Some dogs, if they get very zeroed in on something they want to chase, will run right through it even though they are getting zapped. It looks like your dogs are neutered, and that is key. If they are not neutered, and they catch wind of a female dog in heat, they are not going to let the underground fence stop them. In terms of "affordable," it depends on how big of an area you're talking about and on what your idea of "affordable" is. Depending on where you are at and what you are looking for in terms of confined area, this could range from a few hundred dollars to thousands. Get a few different quotes, and ask your vet if they know of someone near you who installs them. When used properly, (such as an underground fence), shock collars have no recognized long term negative effects. If you were to learn that one of your dogs had
