As I understand it there is a leash law in The Villages. If your yard is contained with a fence or because you are in a villa no one would care. As for invisible fences, remember that they don’t prevent other animals from entering your property. For the safety of your own dog, no matter the size, they should be on a leash. Dogs can become enticed by other creatures running around here and I have personally saved my neighbor’s dog from becoming road kill on more than one occasion.
