- NEW!
Help answer this question below.
Run around the outside of your house all times of day and night in a robe and hair curlers screaming the devil is coming tonight! And he is coming after us all! Then do some strange dance..... I kind of think this might have an effect. ;)
First of all, post a No Trespassing sign and let the parents know about it. If for some reason they hurt themselves jumping over your fence, they'll sue you. Heaven forbid a dog bites them.
I would pass out fliers to every house and front door in the neighborhood. Announce that you know it is happening and that you will not allow it and you might press charges. It will just empower them, but anything will.
You need to reduce your liability. Try to correct or fix what is necessary for the kids to not get through the fence. Show an effort even thought they will climb it anyway.
I take it you like these little monsters, so you have to be tricky. I would tell them there are multiple hidden cameras installed because something is missing, and you're pretty sure the culprit is coming in through the backyard. Tell them you plan to catch the thief on film and there is no way the thief can escape being filmed. You might tell them the police and a secret security guard are also watching your house for trespassers.
It's a tad radical, but you could try razor wire yo...

Take pictures of them...repeatedly. This act is harmless persay, but quite effective. Its human nature to be unerved when pictures are taken of our behavior. I then would file a restraining order.
Install and elextric fence...with barbed wire.
get a camera installed and everytime they jump your fence when you are not there, call the cops they can be charged with tresspassing.
Electric fense? No, no. These may be just kids, but kids are reasonable. Just talk with them. You'll be surprised on how well they listen.
Two words - Hot Wire
Last I checked, in NH you are allowed to shoot trespassers IF you have adequately posted signage. Put up a few "No trespassing" signs and shoot the first little bastard that ignores the sign.
of course, your jurisdiction may differ ;)
You've got the wrong kind of dogs, my friend. You need to get some mean-assed "junkyard" dogs like Rotwilers, Dobermans, Pitt Bulls, etc. The kind with crazed, wild eyes and huge canine fangs. ...the kind that can gulp down 5 pounds of meat in a single swallow. Then you can DARE the little bastards to jump your fence.
I would get myself a car battery and some barbed wire to staple along the top after hooking it up to the battery. If the shock does get them a barbs will. And the video will be halarious.
Get one of those motion detecting automatic water gadgets for your yard. When kids jump the fence the water shoots them until they scramble back over to the other side! Eventually, the parents will catch on that "their kid" was involved and get tired of them tracking water through the house - If nothing else! On the up-side you'll have a good laugh daily! Get the video camera too, you'll want to see it in slow motion! This gadget can be tweaked so the dogs motion is not sensed also.
Put out a video camera on a table, next to it put a shotgun (not loaded). Neither of them even have to be hooked up to each other, or even on, but if they see it it will scare the bageebas outta them. lol
ELECTRICITY HURTS ,hook it up
tazer gun...
Broken bottles on the top of the fence.
Call the police on them, or if you don;t want to, get a friend to pretend to be a cop an explain that its a serious offense. Scare tactics are fun.

Make something of a moat around the inside of your yard with doggie doo so that when they jump over when you're not home they slip and fall and regret the whole incident.
Get a new dog. :P
Tell their mothers.
Borrow a different (mean) dog for a day ot two. No liability issues if they trespass onto your property.
Paint the outside of it with vandal paint that should stop the little beggers.
Electricity!
Get a metal spiked fence, you know, the kind that stands high and has a sharp point on the tip of each stick linking the fence. See if they want to climb that or not! Or plant prickly painful rosebushes behind or in front of your fence. Get the tall prickly hardy kind of rosebushes. I did that, without a fence (the rosebushes act as an effective barrier) and now that keeps pesky kids and roaming dogs out of our yard. You need to plant quite a few and plant them closely together. You can also substitute bushy "mugo pines" instead of rosebushes, if you don't like the fallen leaves from rosebushes in the fall. Hope that helps Kitt-tastrophy. :)
Introduce a Doberman Pincher into the mix.....I was thinking of a Pit Bull but those should be outlawed.
I'm thinking, wiring the fence into the electricity supply.....
Kitt, I wonder if you have tried talking to them. You do sound as though you like them. I know alot of kids today are punks, but I've had more luck with just conversing with them.
What do you have for dogs?
get an electric fence and or a pit bull
Electric barbed wire... ooh.
hammer carpet grippers to top of fence, stops critters also
i would go mental. i'm glad i'm not u because i would lose it
I have another idea that might be better than my first one. I think you should cover the whole fence in lye, and when they jump it just dont do anything, then later when they get some sort of liquid on their hands, (most likely water), it will burn the ands until they put vinegar on it, but they wont know this so they will probly just use water that will burn their hands even more...they should never come back again.
get some barbed wire once they see or touch that they wont even try it again !!!
put an electric wire on top, it is common in texas, even in pastures to keep cows in, its low DC voltage, won't hurt or kill anyone but on jolt and the fence jumping is over.
Electrocute the fence, and switch out the dogs with exploding ones =P
Get a bigger, meaner dog.
Tell them the fence is electrified.
get an airsoft gun and shoot it at them when they hop it, it stings a little and itll probly scare them half to death, but make sure to hide when they hop it so u can jup out and hose em!!
Install a moat.
Install barbed wire.
Get meaner dogs.
Use 'Anti Climb Paint' on your fence. It doesn't dry, so they get it on their clothes and skin. You are supposed to post a warning that you are using it, but make it very small and in an out of the way place.
Also, consider informing the police that you are being harassed.
Good luck.
I don't know what your allowed in town, but here in the country I'd put up an electric fence. Not one to hurt anyone, just enough to give them a bite. If there parents can't control them and teach them respect, maybe the fence will. Good Luck!
put up a sign..
" BECOME AN ORGAN DONOR...
JUMP OVER THIS FENCE "
reverse psychology.. hehehehe..
Put something sticky on the fence, so when they jump they get it everywhere. Or Hot Sauce, Peanut Butter, or anything that smells bad......
Put a cactus plant all around your fence.
theres no need to go electricuting children now is there. Build a higher fence and cover the whole lot in shit straight from your dogs butts. see if they like them so much when they smell like arse.
Why are they getting to your dogs? To play or to hurt them?
If they are doing damage to your property or pets, file charges with the police and a restraining order to get their parents involved. Same if you don't want them in your yard period. What if they get hurt and their parents want to sue you?
Razor wire, electric fence, Pungee sticks, deep pit covered with vegetation or IED's. Any of those should produce a successful results. Good luck!
Connect some jumper cables from a car battery and onto the fence. Zap!
I live on the ground floor of an apartment building. I can hear my upstairs neighbor very well. Can she hear me as well?

You're reading Kids in my neighborhood have now proven that they have NO problem jumping my fence to get to my dogs...even with me standing right there. So how can I make them NOT jump the fence when I'm not around?
Comments
And if not you'll at least have entertained the whole neighborhood.
