Invisible Fence May Save Your Dog?

People keep your dogs in your yard, you need a fence or an invisible fence, a chain, or leash. An invisible fence actually works very well as long as you have a back-up battery in place. Your dog running loose is an accident waiting to happen and it may not be your dog that gets hurt, it could easily be a child. Plus if your dog gets hit by a car, I will feel bad for the dog. I also don’t want my daughter to see it.
We have a very friendly dog, most people do, but when a strange dog who also might be friendly comes up things can go wrong. You never know how dogs will react to each other and a child could easily get caught in the middle. All dogs should have a fence or a dog pen for your pets safety. You are legaly responsible for what your dog does to other people. You can be held criminally liable.
There are a few people in my neighborhood that just don’t pay attention and their dogs are continually running the neighborhood. Hey I understand they all get away from us once in awhile, but it is not an every week occurrence.
I don’t dare let my daughter walk the dog around the block by herself because of these other dogs. I don’t know that she could keep control of our dog for one to get quickly away, plus I am afraid she will get caught in the middle between the two dogs if there is a problem.
Yes, I am an over protective mom at times, but I shouldn’t have to worry about dogs running loose in the neighborhood all the time. My daughter knows if there is ever a problem you drop the leash and get to safety, but that is a tough thing for a younger child to do if they think their dog might get hurt. They want to help.
I have decided to start calling the pound on these dogs. But there are a couple dogs around here that seem to accidentally get out a couple times a week that I don’t trust, and they will be turned in. These dogs should be in some kind of dog cage, but they just run loose all the time.
Now watch, my dog will get out next week.
Basically what I am saying is parents you need to warn your children what to do if they are out walking their dog and another one approaches. It could turn out bad not only for the dogs but your child as well.
