Thank you for all your replies! It really is a tuffy to solve!

Our garden runs front to back, we have a front wall which is where the trellis and chicken wire is. The chicken wire is bent over as suggested, and to date this has stopped him escaping on that side. On the other side of the house is the drive with a wooden 5 bar gate and more trellis panels. The only gap there was to enable you to put your arm over to open the gate - and that was the spot! But hubby has blocked that since he chased after him!

I think the problem is caused by the dogs being able to see people walking passed the gate, they get barked at and then when the 'dissapear' the dogs chase round to the garden to catch them going passed the front wall. I'm sure it is all territorial, but it almost seems like they are saying 'Why arn't you coming in, don't walk passed!'

For now, I can't see anywhere else he could get out and am keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks again
Lisa
