good ideas! I did put up a (4 strand, polywire) hot wire fence around their coop and run--about a foot or two away from the structures--when we realized the dog might be a problem. we did watch him wander down one morning, though he never touched the wires or attempted to go beyond them; he just...

good to know--thank yoU!

thank you for your understanding words--I feel less crazy now. And yes, we're very concerned that if they get chickens they will become our problem somehow. Right now things are good, and they're doing a pretty good job keeping their dog on their property with a few more lapses. He's a calm dog...

You raise really valuable points here--thank you for taking the time to interact with my concerns. I think I'll work on enriching their run, and, perhaps offer to train their dog down the road. A fence has been on our bucket list for a while, so that's still in the cards once we get enough...
