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.

How is a Great Pyrenees against alligators or rattlesnakes? The second week we were here in a new CYV my neighbor found a rattlesnake in his garage. Since we keep our garage door open for the laundry, I immediately had horizontal sliders installed. One question, are you getting 'Invisible Fence' or is your dog trained to stay on your property. If he leaves your property, the dog falls under the leash law.
What are the leash laws in Sumter County?
County Code 4-10 states that all dogs must be confined on owners property at all times or under direct control or on a leash when off the owners property. Otherwise a citation will be issued for the animal running free.
We sometimes walk on Odessa Circle in Tamarind Grove. It's an oval that is 7/10 of a mile around. The home at 2149 Odessa Circle has a 175 pound black & white Great Dane, and they have invisible fence all the way to the front curb. It's a scary sight walking 10' from that dog when he's standing at the front of the home. Great Pyrenees don't look as scary, but ever since I was bitten by a German Shepherd when I was a kid playing outside, I've always been leery of big dogs I don't know.
