I'm honestly trying to understand your point. I don't know what you're proposing as an alternative. There are two dogs allowed per household, and "real" fences aren't allowed. The only alternative seems to be invisible fencing. If you don't approve of invisible fencing, do you feel dogs should be kept indoors 100% of the time?
