Hey @itsasmallfarm, that's an interesting point. The law here says not to shoot closer than 150 feet from a dwelling, but there may be exceptions for cases of trespassing dogs, coyotes etc. I've been thinking, although this neighbor is not very nice or friendly, he has had opportunities to...

I'm glad that situation was resolved.

Ok, sounds like 7 feet is the way to go. Thanks.

Is there some way to make the entire fence electrified and not just the top wire?

Oh he knows the hot wire hurts. Only the top wire is hot. He slides between the grounding wire just under it, and the goat fencing.

Here is what the fence and the dog look like. The dog climbs between the goat fencing and the barbed wire to get out. I am not sure how to fix this without redoing the entire fence.

With all due respect, you don't know what the neighbor's intent is. I live here, I deal with them daily. I probably do need better fencing but if I am fearful for my dog's life with the current fence and legal conditions, it's justified. People here are unpredictable. Another neighbor lost a...

I mentioned in the original post there I did build a physical fence for him; it's a 1/3 acre run for him with 4' tall goat fencing, with barbed hot wires at 4.5' and at 5' high. He just uses his body weight to deform the goat fencing and slips through. I spent $2k on the enclosure and don't want...

I do open carry; another neighbor recommended that I carry a sidearm conspicuously since I am a female living alone. I was carrying a handgun but switched to a 22LR rifle since there has been an issue with foxes. Everyone here has guns so it doesn't seem like a deterrent to the neighbor. I think...

Hi, I did check with a lawyer, and legally the neighbor was in the right. Maybe an asshole move, but not illegal.

Thanks. I was hoping someday it will get better.

Hi, I live alone on 5 acres in the rural Midwest. Although I built a study electric enclosure for my dogs, one of them is a large Anatolian shepherd and a few months ago he found a way out, and ran straight over to the neighbors' property. My dog is fierce looking but he has never shown...
