How do you block a gate from a dog?

You can use chicken wire, hardware cloth, or a piece of chain-link fence attached to the base of the fence. Some people bury it for aesthetic reasons. But you can also lay it on top of the grass and hold it down with rocks, gravel, mulch, or even planters. Pour a concrete footer.

How do I get my dog to stop jumping on the gate?

If at any time he jumps the gate, say ‘uh-oh’ and calmly bring back in to the right side. Go back and work at the last stage that he was comfortable. Move through any stages that you are out of sight very slowly as having to return to him to put him back in will be rewarding to him.

What can I put under my gate to keep my dog in?

What can I put on the bottom of my gate to keep my dog in?
