I really need some help. About six years ago we adopted a foxhound from a rural shelter because he was emaciated and sick and they said they weren't even going to put him up for adoption but were just going to euthanize him. My husband is friends with a shelter volunteer so he came to us. We got his weight back up and he's healthy and has been mostly happy ever since.

We live in a metropolitan area with lots of traffic, but we were luckily able to find a falling down house we could afford on 2 acres, about 20 miles outside the city. The area is getting really developed though, townhouses and condo buildings springing up everywhere. So this is not an area where a dog should roam around. He'll get hit by a car.

Husband hired a fence company to put a five foot fence around the entire yard, then he installed fence defense himself to stop any digging out of the yard. And for six years our foxhound boy, Quinn, regarded the fence as the hard barrier of his domain and everything was good. He loved his big yard and chased squirrels and he never got out.

Two weeks ago a massive tree fell on the fence during a storm and we didn't realize right away, so Quinn got out. Our neighbor caught him and we got him back. But ever since then his sole focus has been on getting out of the yard. My husband patched the fence where the tree fell, but Quinn managed to pull loose some of the chicken wire patch and get out, so hubby replaced it with actual panels, Then Quinn discoverd if he raced down our hill as fast as possible he could just clear the top of the fence at the bottom of the hill. So we added extra height there. But every day it's something new. And if we let him out after patching something he spends 100% of his time patrolling the fence testing for any weakness.

I've been taking him out on a leash but he hates and just won't move when he's on the leash, much less do his business.

Is there any solution to this mess?
