This is what I know my wife and I came home today (were out all day) and some one tied my dog up to the fence inside our yard. My dog has never gotten out so it could not have been that. None of my neighbors know anything. I have no idea why someone would do this. The other problem is my german barks at everyone but if you walk up to him he lets anyone ped him. HOw can I fix this where he won't let strangers pet or touch him. He is a 2yr old male german shepherd. What can I do as this is kinda scary knowing anyone can pet him and just walk in the gate.
Thanks..
I am quite sure those more knowledgable than myself can help you,but here are a few things you can do to keep people away fromm your fence.
1. Put a no trespassing sign on each side of the yard and back attached to the fence(on the outside0
2.Put a lock on your gate and lock it-this may be the most important.
3. consider crating your dog inside the house when you are not home

The situation regarding the rope tied to the fence is most discerning.
I live in a high foot traffic area and there are some "regulars" who come to the fence to pet the dog. Efforts on my part to curb this, over time, have helped and the dog tends to allow "one" pet and then back off.
I *had* to buy locks for the gates. Little luggage combo locks. Not only was big dog lifting the latch at his leisure, (thank god he just would go to the front yard) but I have always wondered about those random people who might get a wild hair and take the dog!!! I've heard of these things happening and it is disturbing. It's one thing if there is reported abuse with a dog and the authorities are involved, but another when people get their wacky ideas.
Is there anyway your dog got out and the person was trying to help?
I have a neighbor 2 doors down with a Rot and no fence. The Rot is constantly in my fenced in yard doing its duty. I have inacted a response where I collect the dog and go knock on thier door to tell them "I fear for the safety of your dog, etc., etc." This is fun at 4am when I get home from work in my Police uniform. Anyway, I guess if I got no response to the knock on the door, I would tie the dog to the side of their house or something along those lines.
So, maybe someone did you a favor. Or, someone is messing with your dog when you are gone.
Our neighbors have shot fireworks and BB-guns at our dogs. But they are scared to death of the dogs up close(guess thats good).Be thankful they didnt hurt your dog!We now crate or kennel our dogs if we leave.

do not leave your dog unattended outside ever. much worse can happen than the dog being tied up. poisoning, dognapping, being let out, etc.
when you aren't home, the dog should be inside. when you are home, you should keep an eye on the dog when he's outside. and it doesn't hurt to take a regular turn walking the fenceline to make sure the neighbors haven't left any "goodies" lying around for your dog.

It sounds like your dog got loose and someone did you a favor and brought him home. If it was a some weirdo, you're dog probably wouldn't be back home. I'd keep him in while you're out. Have you asked any of your neighbors if they saw anything?
