Invisible fence is great keeping your critter IN, but not great for keeping WILD critters OUT.

We have two boxers. They are always on a leash! When I take them for a walk we encounter unleashed dogs that run from their own yard and come after my dog. It’s very scary. I have one dig who doesn’t react at all. My other dog has a lot of fear (rescue) because of this, his walks are minimal. But yea, one walk around my block with my dog, and I can encounter at least 3 off leash dogs that come after us.

Even to take a quick pee, we harness and leash both our dogs and walk them in our yard. It’s just not worth the chance to have anything go wrong.

You may want to call the sales center for documentation rather than depend on info from this site?

They're not always as informed as a lot of the people on this site...

I have a thing about unleashed dogs even on their own property. I love dogs, but I have a dog who gets very excited when he sees another dog. He gets hard to control. I do not know if he would bite as he has not yet. I walk him on a leash. A couple of times, unleashed dogs had ran up to him and all hell broke loose. No dog was hurt, but gave me quite a scare. One time three dogs came up to him at once.

Also, I remember walking alone, and this German Shepard starting jumping on me. The owner said he was friendly but that can still give a person a heart attack. Some people are afraid of dogs.

It depends on whether you want to be on Judge Judy’s TV show.

Offer to buy their dog a bark collar, they do work.

We have a gentleman in our neighborhood who walks his dog unleashed. The dog is extremely well-behaved and is trained to stick close to her master, and probably tips the scales at maybe four pounds so the "danger" level is pretty low. But were I him I'd be worried about the traffic, especially the golf carts. Texting while piloting your cart is not unknown in this village.

I was told for small dogs an invisible fence is a problem. Big dogs abd animals can get on and they can’t get away from them. Just a thought.

Sumter County Leash Law.

sumtercounty-fl.elaws.us/code/coor_ch4_sec4-4
Direct control shall mean immediate and continuous physical control of an animal at all times such as by means of a fence, leash, cord, or chain of sufficient strength to restrain the animal;

Typical for most counties nationwide.

Can't wait read about a Coyote, or Bobcat or Owl or Eagle carrying his dog off for breakfast...... a leash is the only thing that can keep that from happening.

Best recognized containment system there is. We've always used one even though with is arthritis he can't chase anything anymore anyways. We are always outside with our dog when he is out as well.:coolsmiley:

Direct control shall mean immediate and continuous physical control of an animal at all times such as by means of a fence, leash, cord, or chain of sufficient strength to restrain the animal; or in the case of specifically trained working, agricultural or hunting animals which immediately respond to such commands, while working; direct control shall also include aural or oral control, if the controlling person is at all times clearly and fully within the unobstructed sight and hearing of the animal.

If your home is within Lady Lake town limits you can let the dog off leash in your yard but you must have control of the dog. A leash is required outside of your property.
