Because of the word "fire" I thought it must be something awful! In Brazil I've never seen one. but I'm sure the dogs would use it consistently like a tree trunk. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

Yes, I can understand your confusion, then. If you are used to just calling it a "hydrant," knowing that to be something that dispenses water, and then we add the word "fire" before it, I can see how it could conjure up a very frightening picture in your mind!

Anything stuck in the ground that sticks up will serve the purpose. I think the fire hydrant idea was probably re enforced by cartoons. I have one at the street in my side yard and it seems everyone with a dog passes it up and then lets their dogs pee on my hosta plants. Those are a good 10ft from the curb, into my side yard under a Yellow Poplar tree.. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Bob, I feel so sorry about you're hosta plants. People can be awfully negligent and impertinent! You should keep standing there, stuck like a fire plug, so the plants will be spared. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

Bob, your advice sounds rooted in reality. But frankly, I'd have expected Candi's idea coming from you! Candi, it seems to be a very practical problem solving, though it might also be a tutorial for neighbors and passersby , depends on the type of fence you have! "Under Cover of Darkness" if necessary, LOL !!!

Well, then it is justified. ......Not that I'd take advantage of that..... Again:Hmmm, hmmmmmmmm. ??? Yes, IIRC, Bob said the dog marked over his own stream WHILE he was Still in the Act

By the same token the evil little bassid had no hesitation of walking UNDER the two GSds to mark over them even if THEY were still going. Evil, sick little bassid! He got hosed down a lot. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
