I think I understand the concern here, of wild animals or undesirable people gaining access to the house.

However, that misses the point of allowing the dog(s), Great Pyrenees, to the yard both the relieve themselves and to deter any wild animals or people that might be in our yard. The Great Pyrenees is a giant bread dog, and a natural guard dog, used widely to protect flocks and herds from wild animals, etc.

I would personally feel safer with my dog able to get into the yard.
