They are allowed off leash if there is an underground fence.

We have one and our dog was trained as well but it was on a much bigger lot. With these small lots he won’t even go down the sides of the yard because they are so close to the area he would walk. Just an FYI, but no issues with maintenance etc.

Max, in his excitement, somehow managed to get out. Max, now free, saw me working in my yard several houses away and thought he would come for an unscheduled play date. Max ran into me and leaped at the rope I was holding and bit my hand severely. Max was unknown to me at that time. I was good with dogs and realized he meant no harm, but still had managed to turn me into a bloody mess very quickly. When his owner finally arrived to claim him and saw me still dripping blood assumed a lawsuit was on its way. It wasn't, but could have been. By way of apology, Max (I'm sure he had help), made me a plate of chocolate chip cookies and we settled out of court and became good friends.
That is a true story. My suggestion is to always keep your cherished pet on a strong leash or inside an enclosure, or your story might not end happily.
Some dogs are smart enough to figure out that if they endure a nanosecond of pain, they are FREE!!!!!!!!! WHEEE! (This is why electric fences worked for our Goldens...)

Thanks for any input!
i see no problem. beware of wildlife that may attack your pet, which is why you need to stay with them while outside. anything from bobcats to snakes and/or bears,...oh, and wild pigs

yeah, but not everyone is as careful as you are, & some don't even know. remember last year when someone walked their dog by the retention pond? that guy didn't even know about gators being that 'close'

This site blocks the link due to the news site it was from. Oh, btw, it occurred in the Village of Bonita.

Sadly those around the pond had to witness the aftermath in the pond for a few days until removal. And yet the other day same pond watched someone walking along the shore with a cute little dog.

Gators gotta eat, too. They ain't picky eaters. They will take whatever you bring to them.
