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... |
There is a driveway on the side where the gate is and that is the side that the pits live on so that won't work. No gate on the other side and only a couple of feet of grassy property on that side. BUT... I can put my little garden fence on two sides of my shed and give them a smaller area away from the other dogs where they are partially blocked from view. If they would happen to jump the fence I could run with them into the shed and close the door. I think that will work for now until we can get something done in the way of a new fence or work out a schedule. As nice as they are, I have my doubts if they would want to work out a schedule and have times when their dogs are not allowed outside. I have been trying to think of how I could even suggest that.
