I think it is shabby of your neighbor to call the authorities about a conversation she overheard, before talking to you first about your plans. Of course if you do something now that is against the covenants, you can be sure she'll have the Backyard Police at your house.

We have invisible fencing which works very well to identify our boundaries to our dogs. I thought it was inhumane before we explored the option with Dogwatch. However I learned that with proper training, they will react to the signal from the fence, and never get a correction (which is a tingle .. I tried it on my arm).
