And, do you mind if I put up a privacy fence?"

Sad thing is, it will look t-a-c-k-y.
Before you talk to the Naybors -Better call the ZONING and/or
Building Permit & Inspection Departments ~

I'll bet there are "Rules & Regulations" -
and LOTS of them -
about "Fences" and "set-backs" and "Lot-Lines" ...

The Towne Fathers may have a lot more to say about a New Fence or Trellis
than the Naybors do!

A really THICK, TALL, and LOW-to-the-ground Bush or Shrub
help - but by the time it thick & tall enough -
"lil" Jonah will prolly be Big & Strong enough to not need any protection!

A REALLY *STURDY* and close-spaced "Trellis" might be the "ticket" =
but be sure to "check" to see if even a "Trellis" might be considered
to be a type of "fence" and therefor covered by the "rules".

I did think about making a 'dummy' fence, with something stronger
than chicken coop wire, and staking it about 3 feet from the fence line.
Check the "rules" -
And now you're making your already "small" yard even SMALL-er!

How about "buyin em out" - then RENT the place to some
"NO-dog" tenants!

Good Luck!!
