dog tunneling under chain link fence

Our dogs tunnel near the fence because my neighbor has dogs and they
want to talk to each other. :-)

I haven't done anything yet, but for me, barbed wire it out of the
question. I've been thinking about laying some sort of bricks or
railroad ties along the side of the fence. It seems like if I do that
in certain areas, they just relocated and dig elsewhere. So, I might
just do it all along the fence and see what happens...

Goldfish are pets. Dogs and cats are members of the family.

You wouldn't "trade-in" a toddler who left teeth-marks on the coffee table.

Damage to property is something you have to accept from a member of the
family.

I like to garden, love to work in the yard. After all of the time and
expense of getting a yard looking nice, I wouldn't want anyone or
anything to ruin it. I'm not fond of huge animals kept in environs not
suited to them, and think pit bulls and rottweilers should be outlawed.
Too many people who keep pets either for "protection" or an ego trip,
and the animal ends up killing somebody because it isn't properly cared
for or confined. Have a neighbor with a rottweiler/mastiff which has
been cited for attacking one animal, since injured another, and the
moronic owner cannot control it and doesn't bother to use a muzzle any
longer. Another neighbor brought his pit bull over to introduce it to a
second neighbor's pet and the pit ended up killing the other dog. Folks
forget that dogs aren't that far removed from wild animals and still
have animal instincts. Big darn difference between pets and family.

Bullshit. Dogs do as their owners do. A nasty dog was, one way or
another, taught to be nasty. It's the people who are at fault.

Nonsense! Dogs were domesticated something like a million years
ago. The resemble nothing of their wild cousins. Dogs *are* a
part of the family, though also a possession.

I bet when you were a kid a dog bit you, after you kicked it.

Nonsense! go read about the traits of a pit bull. "tendency to attack
other dogs" is mentioned and that is a very primitive trait.
