Introduction: Understanding Alaskan Malamute Behavior
Alaskan Malamutes are known for their independent and adventurous nature. They are bred for sledding and have a strong urge to roam and explore. Therefore, it is essential to understand their behavior to prevent them from escaping. It is also important to note that running away is a common problem in Alaskan Malamutes, and it can be dangerous, especially if they are not trained to stay within a boundary.
Secure Your Backyard: Fence, Gates, and Barriers
One of the most effective ways to prevent your Alaskan Malamute from escaping is to secure your backyard. Install a fence that is high enough to prevent them from jumping over it. Consider adding an electric wire to the top of the fence to discourage them from climbing. Also, make sure there are no gaps in the fence that your Alaskan Malamute can squeeze through. Secure the gates with locks to prevent them from opening them. If you have a deck or balcony, install barriers to prevent them from jumping off. If you live in an apartment, make sure your windows have secure screens that cannot be easily pushed out.
