DOG FAQ - Do Labrador Retrievers jump fences?

Labrador Retrievers are not renowned for this as a breed, although individual Labrador Retrievers can be clever at escaping. Some can be good at opening doors and latches. A six-foot fence properly grounded will keep a Labrador Retriever from jumping, although many Labrador Retrievers will never jump a four-foot fence perimeter. Because they can chew a lot, take care that your enclosure cannot be chewed through. Labrador Retrievers can also be good climbers, so check for possible footholds the dog could use to haul himself up. A Labrador Retriever that is bored and/or under exercised may turn into an escape artist par excellence.
