been hearing on the radio about this,about 1 and a half hours south of us, 12 confirmed dog deaths from poisen, all in their own fenced yard or property, and a really disturbing incident where a dog had to be put down because of chemical burns(own yard). The RCMP think its the same person,
man, what next

Don't let your dog out unless you can be present the whole time & check the yard for any foreign articles of food, toys etc that may have been tossed over the fence BEFORE taking your dog out.
If this is going on...you need to be extremely vigilent.
Teaching a solid 'leave it' command would be a good idea. So should they find something you may have missed, you can give the command to not touch it if they should start to show interest in a particular area. Then you can go & look.

I read about that and can't even imagine it. If I was a dog owner in that area I think I would be hiding in my bushes at night with a weapon in one hand and video cameras on the fence line.
Seriously. And anyone that knows me I think will agree that that kind of behavior is not the norm for me.
My defense attorney could probably really use any video.
In the meantime I would be lighting up my fence line with enough light to play a midnight game of baseball if need be, and dogs would go out to potty only on leash.

My backyard flood lights are on motion dectors & will go on if ANYTHING moves just about anywhere in the back yard. Ny light switch is on all the time & will automatically turn on floods from dusk to dawn if there is any movement.

Betty, that is really crazy. I thought that you lived in a rural area. I guess the idiots are not just in the suburban areas. And here I thought getting out,out & away would afford one some level of safety from the jerks of the world. SIGH

One would think? The property next to me is rental and they seem to rent to people that have the idea that fence fighting is good exercise and dogs should roam free.
We are in the process of fencing in our front right now and next is a privacy fence (already fenced) facing their property. Their side may be hot pink.
To make it worse the mobile home is offset as close to the property line as it can be....
Since it is a lower rent unit we often get families with toddlers. They can easily put a hand thru the fence so the privacy fence will give me a lot of peace of mind.
Last tenant's dogs actually chased a squad car that was pulling into my property for training.... He got out and asked me if they were my dogs and I became unglued. It was something along the line of look at all my fencing, do you really think my dogs are unfenced? At least he saw the humor in it.........

I have a 6' stockade fence down the sides & across the back of my place. But it's only under a 1/2 acre. I did feel better about putting a more physical barrier up then the usual 4' split rail with the mesh inbetween. My dogs would just go over it in a heatbeat. Zasha has come close to jumping the fence but I was there to stop her. (that's what happens when you do some PP training in your yard & house..she will chase off the property)
So far my neighbors are afraid of my dogs...so they watch their kids & don't let them near the fence. But the kids are all under 5 so they are not out there alone. Time will tell if that changes.
I have one neighbor whose dog will run the fence line with my dogs...but I never have them out there unless I am out there or in the house watching them. I stop any fence runing immediately. So they don't get a chance to really get into it.
If I had to do it again...I'd do a vinyl fence because there is no way to see thru the cracks like in the stockade.
