Owner Builds Custom 8ft Fence To Keep Dogs In, They Take It as a Challenge
A dog owner thought she had found a way to keep her dogs inside, only to be immediately proven wrong.
TikTok user Tammi shared a brilliant clip to her account @tammi4033 on October 17, showing the enormous 8-foot-high fence she had built to keep her dogs secured in the yard.
But things didn't exactly go to plan, as shown in the viral video with over 10,000 likes and almost half a million views.

The short clip shows two dogs behind the fence: one looking out, his tail wagging.
But the other dog is halfway up the fence's door, which proved to work quite well as a ladder. The pup climbs up, putting his paws through the gaps and climbing steadily until he gets to the top.
He then leaps to the ground on the other side and immediately takes off running.

Tammi wrote on the video: "Just built a custom 8 foot fence to keep the dogs in."
But, as one commenter jokingly pointed out: "In their defense, you also built a ladder."
"Might need to replace the ladder with a door," another laughed, a third said: "Dog said challenge accepted!"

"You built a ladder on hinges," a fourth user said. But a different user, looking on the bright side of things, told Tammi that it had been "money well spent on an agility obstacle."
Another video on Tammi's account shows what appears to be the same dog competing in, and winning, a wall climbing competition—meaning he likely did take the 8-foot fence as a special challenge.
Agility and obstacle courses are popular among some pet owners and see the owner direct their pet through a pre-set course within a time limit.
All breeds are able to take part in such trials, and the training can help strengthen an owner's bond with their dog, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC).
The AKC suggests interested owners should check out a trial before practicing in their own homes and joining a beginner's class to see if it's right for themselves and their pets.
Should the owner and dog enjoy it, there are options to enter your dog into competitions.
