You've been given some good advice already and I too believe that a pit bull should never be trusted, your neighbor's pits have already shown aggression by running, barking and growling at your babies when they are out...it's only a matter of time before the right opportunity presents itself. Is there any way you can get a couple of x-pens and attach them together to use for your Yorkies when they go out? You could secure them to the side of your house so they could go out the back door into the x-pens and not the yard. That wouldn't be too expensive and their area would be smaller where you could keep a closer eye on them...then you could let them out in the full yard only when your neighbor's dogs are inside. I would not cover the fence with anything...curiosity of hearing and not seeing could make it worse and they may want to come over the fence at that point.
Please follow your heart on this one and make a decision you can all live with now and not one that your conscience may have to live with later.
Good luck and be safe... |
