How can I stop a neighbor´s dogs jumping our fence into our yard?
My Neighbor's Dogs Jump our Fence
If your neighbor's dogs have been jumping your fence into your yard, the best way to resolve the problem is through a discussion with your neighbor. Approach him in a non-confrontational manner to resolve the issue. Some possible solutions include requesting he keep his dogs indoors when he is not at home, agreeing to raise the level of your shared fence, and offering education on preventing "escape artist" canines. If your neighbor repeatedly refuses to mediate a solution, you can try contacting your local humane society to see what options are available to you.
