YOU know that YOUR dog is friendly. The person your dog is barreling towards does not. I've seen Pit Bulls happily wave their tails as they ran to (and torn into) other dogs. It is also just good manners to train your dog not to jump on people. I've had friendly dogs put their dirty paws on my uniform pants and squad car door.

case in point: My two neighbors have off leash dogs running around with them in front of their homes, I come out one morning and begin walking my dog down the street. two of the little ones see us and begin chasing after us as their owner "screams" to retrieve them, is this OK with everyone? my lovely quiet relaxing Sunday morning was shot to hell, I have since purchased Dog defense items to carry. I lived in a big city and never had to carry these items but I do here... something is wrong with this picture..... |

Many people think an invisible underground wireless electric fence is the best way to keep their dog in their yard. However, they are simply not as effective as you might think. Statistics suggest that invisible wireless electric fences are only about 70% effective.

Dog on Leash
The paragraph below is directly from the Deed restrictions for the area I live in, I think this language is in all deed restrictions so you are required to keep your dog on a leash in your yard. I have personally had an incident recently when walking down a street where two dogs came out of a yard across the street looking friendly. When they got close, they started growling and circling. I yelled at the owner who was on her phone, she softly called them back, they finally went to her. I like dogs, but you cannot predict how an animal will respond to a stranger. Keep your dog on a leash even in your yard, it is just a courteous thing to do with houses so close together. Even though your neighbors seem to not care when your dog runs to them, not everyone wants to pet your animal every time they walk outside.
From deed restrictions: Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum of two (2) pets per Homesite. Each Owner shall be personally responsible for any damage caused to dedicated or reserved areas by any such pet and shall be responsible to immediately remove and dispose of any excrement of such pet and shall be responsible to keep such pet on a leash. No other animals, livestock, or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred, or kept on any Hornesite or on dedicated or reserved areas. |

99.999% of the time, people don't think their dog will bit.
99.999% of the time, actors don't think the gun is loaded.

I notice that many folk think it is OK to allow your dog off leash while you are outside working in yard. If you have your dog out, why not have it on a long line? Gives it freedom of movement but allows you control. Even before moving here a long line was just as important as having a leash. Now, in a CYV, long line is used while I am working in front yard. I try to be a good neighbor.

Invisible Fence
Quote:
ocala.invisiblefence.com Phone 352 351 1055 Territory Manager Donnie Ray, his phone # is 352 804-3393. Three of us all have the invisible fence. None of us have any issues. Price depends on if you only want the front yard protected, or the back yard only or 2 loopes. We've had ours for over 6 years so I'm sure the pricing is way outdated. Not inexpensive, but lots of peace of mind. They spend as much time as it is required to train you....and your pet. They install, verify all is working well. Linda |

Keep in mind, invisible fence may prevent your dog from leaving your property however, it does not prevent a predator from attacking your dog. Invisible fence may put your dog at a disadvantage and prevent your dog from fleeing. I keep my dog on a leash whenever we are outside. IMHO, it is just not worth the risk.
