Trying to extend the height of the existing fence might be the best option for now because my husband's job is moving to another state in about a year and we can't afford the expense of putting up a new fence right now. We are not sure if we are taking the move or not at this point.

There are a few good things that I can tell you though. After dark they always turn on the back light when they let the dogs out so if I see the light on I don't let ours out. The bad news is that they sometimes let their dogs out while we are already out with ours. Then it's chaos.

They also have flexible schedules and work some daytime hours as well as some evenings. This is a little inconvenient though because I never know if they are home or not. If I see that both cars are gone I can feel free to let ours out for awhile. The bad thing is that I have to walk all the way to the back of our yard to see if their cars are home. It's a real pain.

The city I live in welcomes pit bulls and will not do anything about fences, in fact a while back they told us that fences over 3 feet are not allowed in our city. I think that has changed somewhat and you can have privacy fences with some limitations. Our city's view is that it is legal to have any kind of dog here and they are not breaking any laws having pit bulls so we have to learn to live with it.
