Reply #14: Although, to be fair

- and I'm not saying you're one of them -

there are a lot of people out walking that aren't familiar with dogs. I had this problem when I moved to this development (previously lived in a rural area, so not a problem). Well, here, people are walking, jogging, etc. by all the time.

I have invested a lot of money into confining my dogs. I ultimately got a back yard fence, which we use now, but originally had a "radio fence". There's only one dog in particular - the other are chilled - but he liked to "race" people back and forth. He never left the yard, although I'm sure that if he could he would be a car chaser. Nevertheless, we kept getting calls from Animal Control who, actually, had met the dog, and thought he was nice, and had to admit that no one that called had ever actually had him come out and confront them (not that he would "confront" them - he'd probably just lick them), but some of the people walking by don't know anything about dogs. Lions, tigers, or bears I could understand, but it's not like dogs should be any mystery, but some are just freaked out and can't read even the simple "dog signs". There's a big difference between a dog that is going to rip your head off and one that's just running around being friendly.

But ultimately, we dumped $1500 into a fence just to keep the peace with the neighbors. This, on top of the original $900 for the radio installation we thought was a nice thing.
