Hmm. She sounds like an impressive dog!

I don't have any relevant behavioral experience,
but I have some alternatives to barbed wire on the fence:

I'm thinking dry moat on the inside if the
fence, like they have in zoos
so that the fence doesn't have to be so massive.
But that might be prohibitively expensive.

Is there an alternate way to construct the fence so that
it is not so "climable"?

I'm thinking that the top foot might tilt in, so that when she
"grabs" the top, she can't make contact woth the fence with her back
paws to push herself up?Or perhaps a smoothly rotating
bar on top, so she can't get a grip?
It might even look reasonably decorative?

Good luck!
