Spermy Smurf posted:It's my problem to keep my dogs safe and out of the road, yes. I was responding to whoever said "fence it all and increase the value!" which is dumb. the sarcasm is because you seem to think that not having fences themselves means they're morally opposed to them or something. not requiring something themselves doesn't mean they aren't going to appreciate the practical need for it. invisible fencing isn't really a very good option, other dogs can get in and start fights, dogs can easily push through the shocks when they're motivated enough (like chasing an animal), and a dog that's gotten past the boundaries of an invisible fence is unlikely to go back in- the shocks keep them outside once they get out. my favorite setups have always been having a smaller section of land fenced near the house. yeah, you have to scoop dog poop, but it means you have a private, enclosed area for yourself and kids, not just the dogs. in rural areas this also means your gardens are slightly more protected than without a fence.

i don't know what zone you're in, but if you have to go with a chain link fence, consider doing some planting to make it look better- you could go with tall grasses, hedges, or grape ivy (some ivy species are toxic if eaten by dogs, so be careful when picking one). it's never going to look great, but you can make it look nicer.

I have to admit I always pictured you living in a shack in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by "Trespassers Will Be Shot" signs and barbed wire. i've been in that house and it's Southern Living special decorating issue as gently caress. not even the fifty billion goats and the blood-spattered pit bulls can hide super's true, suburban nature. op you should buy some goats after you build the fence to make sure it's really secure.
