We all have obligations that prevent us from being home all of the time. It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t leave dogs alone and free to roam in your fenced-in yard. Dogs will eventually get bored and will want to explore. Dogs are naturally curious and love roving around. Their senses of smell and hearing are excellent. Even if you have a fence that’s high enough and secure enough at the bottom, dogs may find a way to get out from behind the wooden fence eventually. They might try chewing on a portion of the fence until it’s weak enough to give way.
