Stand on the opposite side of a fence or small wall start low and have a nice bit of chicken or cheese shout him over as you walk away and then when he comes over give him a treat keep repeating it till hes confident to do it

Start off with small walls getting bigger the better he gets dogs will jump a wall quicker then a fence.

Once he jump walls move on to fences (wooden) and again small to big.

After all that he be ready for sheep wire try get piece and nail it on to your side gate or where your dog as to jump if he wants to go out.He soon catch on never to late.

What ever you do don't bring him near sheep wire with barbed wire on top until he is jumping well nothing worse then dog getting caught up in barbed wire put them off jumping for good.
