You can try tying the lines together between the posts to keep the lines from spreading, so they can jump through. It works for me with my dog, and I'm going to try it with the goats.
Set up an area with fencing they cannot go through, then run the electric on the inside. As they touch the electric, they are not able to get through and learn to jump backward when shocked instead of through. I had the same issue in the beginning. Once trained to jump back instead of through, I had no further escapes, even from the escape artist.
I am dealing with similar situation with our sheep.... I started off with premier 1 solar chargers. Had to step up my game and go with a big Gallagher charger and really beef up my ground system (still not sure if it's going to keep them, only been running a week now), ground system is my main problem I believe. Good luck, it sure can be frustrating!

That’s a fantastic idea!

That is great advice!
@@wojohomestead It worked for my Nigerian dwarf escape artist... He no longer pops through...lol

You are very right about that! We may need to change it up for next season. Good luck with your sheep as well!
