The idea given by Ryan may also work but one mistake while you are not around and the dog will realise when it is safe to leave the yard and when it is prudent to stay in it.
A dog that has regular training sessions and plenty of excersise is much better off and safer if it is in the house or in an enclosure when you are not able to control it.>>>>>>

Maybe I did not make myself clear.
In simple terms, I am not giving a choice of
tips 1-4. You are to use ALL the tips combined. Which includes:
tip 1: Keeping your dog from getting BORED which includes EXERCIZE.
Tip 2: OBEDIENCE taining.
Tip 3: making shure your dog is SECURE and safe in a yard, by making your yard ESCAPE proof.

Tip 4: A training lesson that is specifically designed to teach a dog from leaving a yard, not to be used inliu of the daily OBEDIENCE lesson.

Hope this better explains my post.
