I really really wish I had a courtyard villa for that reason! I have to walk pooch whenever he has to go potty...sometimes in the middle of the night. The electric fences drive me crazy because dogs do break through them when they see my dog coming and then we have trouble. My dream is to have a big courtyard, all grass, with eastern exposure....all for my dog
Maybe hide a fence in a row of shrubs so no one can see it?? I was thinking about trying that myself.
