I am also new to The Villages. One of our across-the-street neighbors has two dogs (one large, and the other medium sized) who are not leashed, but never bark or leave their property. I can see their house from my front window. There is a dogie door through a garage door on the side of the house, which is visable from the street. I do not know if there is another dogie door from inside of the garage into the house, or if the dogs live in the garage. The dogs are not always out, and they are not always out together. When they are out, their owners are rarely out supervising them and they can roam around their entire over-sized yard (front, side and back). They look clean, well-fed and cared for. Either these dogs are extremely well trained, or there is an invisable, electronic fence around the property. Either way, I do not see an issue. They appear to be very nice dogs and I think it is nice that they have the freedom to enjoy their yard.
