My new dog ran away twice. Is it safe outside with a new fence?

Question

Do you think I should let the dog stay inside today? Because it roamed freely in my big backyard with a bunch of bushes, we just add fences so that it can't run away. It is usually tied and have ran away 2 times for no reason, but own this dog for only a week so it's not used to us yet. So is it ok if it's can stay outside or should it go inside?

I would recommend keeping your dog inside for the next few days with limited supervision in the backyard until you know the fence will keep your dog in with no issues. Once you personally observed your dog running around for a few hours at a time and know there are no issues it may be OK to let him be outdoors unsupervised again.
