Electric cow fences hurt and kids don't climb them. I know from the experience of being a bad kid who climbed many a neighbor's fence. I stayed the -F- away from the ones with the single scary looking line across the tops. They really zing. LOL
The down side to an electric wire on a fence is you don't always get a good enough ground on a wooden fence. With a small kid, he/she would be out of ground contact on a 6' wooden fence.You could put another (ground) wire, lower on the outside of the wooden fence, but then you have to worry about the liabilities of it snagging a neighbor's dog, kid, etc.
I vote for Nick's method! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Well, this is the kind of world we live in...sigh.
I don't see why the child can't be charged with abuse, hurling itself off the fence and landing on the dog like that. And tresspassing to boot.
Another weird one- say some a**hole breaks into your home while you're out and your dog corners
the intruder...guess who could end up being charged with 'illegal confinement'? Yup.
I've read that for non bite trained dogs a good sign is something like German Shepherd Crossing with a picture of the breed. It makes it visually clear that a dog or dogs are probably there without saying they are dangerous. The funny thing is that it isn't just kids who will come into your yard. Last winter I was out in the back yard with both dogs and an elderly woman from down the alley suddenly came and opened our back gate. Our gate isn't locked but the dogs are never loose in the yard without us being outside too. In any event she was trying to go to another neighbor's house and wanted to cut thru our yard because the alley was slippery. I was concerned about one of the dogs bumping her and having her break a hip in our yard.
I like the one I saw at the Nationals that said something to the effect of "My GSD can make it to the gate in 2 seconds, can you?" Does that count as a warning? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Where can I get some of those??? It looks good to me - doesn't say "My dog will chew up your @$$ if you come in here", but surely lets people know the pups are in there!

Amber,
If your question is for me, try this place:
The good thing about the DOGS LOOSE sign is that it doesn't admit any vicousness etc, and also the sillouette of the dog is useful for those people who can't read.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
THANKS!! I'm checking both those sites right now - I like it much better than anything that actually "admits" that my dog might chew off a limb. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
