An electric fence wouldn’t make sense to me if we have to stand out side and watch her and race Home every few hours to let her out.
There have been incidents of people stealing dogs here in The Villages last summer. I don't know whether the thieves were ever caught. They would take the dog and leave the collar behind. Our dog used to love to hang out on the driveway during the day, tied onto a line. He won't be doing that alone anymore when we return to TV.


I wouldn't advise leaving your dog outside while you're gone, or even giving him access to the outside without being in a property with a lockable fence.
