Neighbor got a new puppy..ugh...

the chicken wire idea,, that was exactly what I meant when I posted earlier,,, just didnt know how to describe what I meant,, til I saw the pics KYS posted,,,,,

pitc9 I feel your pain. Recently I posted about the neighbors grandson on one side of us giving us problems. A few years ago(when we first put up the fence) our neighbor has this vicious beast that came after my dogs! I hauled dirt and filled in under the fence and had bricks lining it! Her dog would come 8 feet on my property to go around the wooden back fence to get to the chain link side! The dog now has a bad heart and has to keep from running around so she now keeps it away from the fence!
Right now both of my dog's are leashed, Mandy for her heart and Lacey for her leg so we aren't having any problems walking the two of them in the fence:rolleyes: But I sure never dreamed when we spent $2,000. on a fence to keep our dogs safe and able to run loose that everything OUTSIDE of the fence would be our greatest problem! I wish you luck in finding a solution.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but could you buy some shrubs that grown tall and wide to plant infront of the fence, in time, it would form a hedge...so the dogs couldnt get to the fence...

Shrubs sound like a good idea to keep them away from the fence, and the chicken wire sounds good to keep them from digging.

I think in stead of us having to look at the chicken wire, I am going to put it on the neighbors side of the fence!!! HA HA!!:D

If only we didn't live on a corner lot, then we could have gone with the 6' wood fence all the way down their yard and all I'd have to deal with would be them digging under the fence, but noooooo:rolleyes: I have to keep them from fighting with each other when they stand up and fight OVER the fence too! Ahhhhhh!!

She even once had the nerve to ask me why didn't we spend a little more money and go 6' all the way to the road :mad: :mad:
HELLO!!! YOU can spend some money now!!! We are over $3300 now, and them... one $350 trip to the ER with Blizzard.

The hubby and I have been talking about moving for a little while.
We'd like more land, and less neighbors :p

Oh Angie, I feel your pain. When we were having such problems with the GSD's next door it just about drove me nuts! Thankfully the female went with the boyfriend when he left so that just leaves the male (Max) and he's not as bad as he used to be and she actually watches him much more since I said I would be calling the warden if I caught him in my yard again!
We did put some tall bushes, gravel & electric wire on one side of our yard (but the electric wire is all the way around the yard-top and bottom, so I don't think that's mean at all) to keep Angus from always running & barking after the neighbors grandson when he was over there (hey, he just wanted to play;)).

Here's a picture of it all the way down

I hope you can figure something out.

But I really think the electric wire would do the job!

That totally stinks Angie! :(
I can't imagine having horrible neighbors like that. I have a guy beside me that's a little different but is nice enough. I am very fortunate, I suppose.
I really don't have any advice - altho I think that Electric fence Anna put up is a good start. Or the shrubs so that they can't get near the fence, but that would also need some upkeep. :confused:
I just can't imagine.....

Wow Anna that looks nice!!

Did you two do it yourselves or did you have someone do it?

Since my hubby is an electrician, the electric fence shold be no problem... it's just that we are afraid of the neighbor kids touching it, and getting zapped. They have three kids, 13, 10 and 6. And they always have a yard full of neighborhood kids because they have a pool, trampoline, and a basketball court:rolleyes: Even if we put signs up, little kids that can't read may still touch it.
Anna, have you even had anone touch the fence? How many volts does it put out?
