Annoying neighbor and their dog

As an adult, I've raised a beagle, an Irish setter, a big furry mutt, a Lhasa and then my little Katy. Now, I live in an area where summer is synonymous with extreme heat and/or very dry and hot weather, so even dogs who mostly live outdoors (somewhat larger dogs) come inside during the day (and some nights) quite a bit. While they spent time inside, I considered our beagle, setter and big furry mutt to be "outdoor dogs"--they spent most of their time in a well fenced yard with ready access to fresh water and good food. I trust that didn't make me cruel or careless.

More on fence. Given your further description, it sounds as though you are more concerned the dogs will access your property by digging under the fence (as opposed to traversing through it). I surmise your perimeter fencing doesn't have more or less a continuous footing. My little plastic rolls would not prevent a dog from digging under a fence without a footing. Have you considered adding concrete curbing to the problem area on your side of the fence? See "CreateACurb."

I wouldn't think it does but... idk I am not a fan of leaving dogs outside for so long. Over here it'd be cruel in the winter, like my last neighbor did.

Yeah I want a stronger fence and preventing all sorts of issues...


ill look into the add a curb
