High Prey Drive—Squirrels, cats, and other small animals might use your fence as a walkway, and dogs with high prey drives will often go after them, even if it means jumping over the fence. Boredom—The fence is there, your dog knows how to jump, and, well, why not? Curiosity—Your neighbors making odd noises, the scratching of another animal, whatever it is going on, your dog wants to know. Separation Anxiety—Some dogs hop the fence because they want to find their humans. For a Visit—This behavior is most common with intact males when they scent a female dog in heat. However, other dogs have hopped the fence to score some of the good treats the neighbor hands out, or to play with the pup next door.
