Question

Help answer this question below.

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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?
