So you're advocating shooting a dog for pooping in their yard. That's not aggressive behavior. That's irresponsible dog ownership - something the dog should not have to pay for with its life.

To even joke about it is disgusting and contemptible.

I completely agree. I hate that Dave O had to bring his backwoods lowlife attitude into this thread about fences. I am the original poster of this thread an don't appreciate people like him stirring the pot and causing trouble - it doesn't do anyone any good and just makes Dave O look really bad. I hope he gets what's coming to him one day.

I suggest just treating Dave O like a troll and move on.

Dave O will become famous soon enough
You people are hilarious. Do you really think that I'd shoot a dog just for coming into my yard? I'd rather shoot the owner.

I once beat the heck out of a German shepherd that was in my yard and going after one of my dogs but I didn't shoot it.

I have also popped a few cats on my property with an air gun but I don't pump the gun up enough to break skin.

Dave O, you seem like a somewhat intelligent individual.....didn't you know that by making some of the statements you did would really rile some people up...or was that kind of your intentions all along? Please share....

Dave, there is no way to know what you are going for on an online forum. We don't know you personally, we can't read your body language, we can't tell if you have a twinkle in your eye to suggust your are kidding.

Yes, there are people that think it's okay to shoot a dog that comes on to their property....even if it just got away from it's owner and the owner is trying to catch it....how are we to know if you aren't one of these? (Which, by the way, I am glad to hear you aren't. I like many of your posts, don't think you are a troll, and you do strike me as an okay dude overall...but your humour style just doesn't translate well to this board at times. You have to expect to be called on it sometimes.....especially when their are real trolls around.)

That's where smilies come in handy, Dave - to let people know you're making a joke. However, as I said in a previous post, to even joke about something like that is disgusting. Some things just aren't funny.

A dog killed my childhood cat who was a roamer that I'd had from my 8th birthday to 18 yo We found her lying still alive with deep gashes by the gate we always went out of in the morning. I've only owned one cat since then and he wasn't allowed to roam.

We have a fence which I'm glad for both to keep animals out (dogs, foxes, etc), and to keep my children in. It's also a great area for entertaining when other people bring their children to join in the mix Even if I had no children or animal concerns I'd still want a fence because I feel it makes the back yard feel more private and cozy, even if it's not a privacy one, though I'd prefer that (ours is pretty short).

Invisible fences creep me out. Dogs come galloping at you, sometimes in their front yard, and it looks like they aren't going to stop I imagine sometimes they don't

And having had cats all my life, I have seen this happen. Liz

Default A fence for us is a must!

For many of the reasons others cited, we also wanted a house with a fence. Seegars installed ours before we even moved in. They fenced the entire back yard, about 3/4 acre. It's wonderful. The dogs never "live" in the yard, just go in and out as needed, to train, and to play "ball" and get their exercise. They love to run huge circles in the yard. The fence keeps them in, and keeps other critters out. We don't get wild visitors from the neighborning fields and woods. HOA had no issue with our 6' fence.

We're responsible dog owners and try to be good, considerate neighbors. The fence helps in that respect. It keeps our dogs from running over with happy tails to say "hello" every time neighbors appear in the yard, or walkers go past, and certainly keeps them from barking at things that move beyond their field of vision. Plus, I love my privacy. I, too, can go out into the back yard in my jammies. And, if it's raining, I can wait for the pooches on my screened porch.

And, whoever said they must have grown up in a different world, I agree. Most of us grew up in a different world where we didn't have to keep our kids within eyesight all the time. Today, you don't dare let your kids play in the yard, front or back, or in the driveway, if you can't see them. It is a very different world with predators of a different kind.

I think fences can be attractive, or they can be unsightly. An attractive fence (for me) adds value to the property.

Here's a photo of only 1/2 of the yard. It's just as big in the other direction. It's a "doggie park" if friends want to bring their dog over for a romp and play session. Do you think it's "ugly"? No matter, since you don't live next door. Neighbors like the fence. We're lucky - they happen to be really nice neighbors and dog lovers as well.

southward bound - how did my dog Brandy get into your backyard?? Seriously our sheltie looks just like yours!

Love the fence. We fenced our yard in, too, and we LOVE it. So do the dogs, and kids!
