Just got a fence put up  

Thankfully I have a big backyard surrounded by a 4 to 6 foot wall. So my Cody can run around and I don't have to worry about him getting out of the yard. I also have about a 9 foot raw iron fence on the side of the house but that is always closed and he can't squeeze through at all.

My back yard is fenced with a 6 foot privacy fence, but that doesn't always keep my dog in. Just yesterday I had to chase him down because he had dug a whole and escaped. Last year, having owned him for 5 years, I had to pay the pound to get him back after one of his escapes. It was over $100, even though he was my dog to begin with!

My pup was very happy when we moved into our house. She now has a fenced in backyard. I liked the house from the first time I saw it, with one exception, it actually doesn't have a door into the backyard. It is an older house, has a door off the kitchen into the carport, have to step around the corner to the yard. But within just a couple of days she learned to go from the kitchen door to her yard. When she wants to come in, I open her gate and she goes straight to the door. It is a chainlink fence, I wish it were a little bit bigger yard, but it is good for her, she's not a real big dog.

My dogs LOVE being able to just run around the yard..We have an invisible fence for them that gives them about a 1/2 acre of running area so they are thrilled....I'd like to put up a nice wooden fence but the size of our lawn area would be far too expensive to do..That would be for our privacy though not for the dogs since the invisible fence works just fine..

Nice! and Congratulations for a job well done.
I am so happy to read this discussion.
We have an old fence that I just happened to of resurrected yesterday by clearing some brush and pulling it back up. It had been there for years.
That is only along the top of the yard. We still have the side, along the driveway to the road and the other side which is adjacent to the neighbors.
We must get a fence in as well. I would use an aluminum fence such as yourself.
Was the cost much?
I am unsure about an invisible fence. Somehow I would feel better with an actual fence that I can see, so to feel more confident that my dog will be safe, inside the fencing.
Since she is so small, she is never out of my sight when we go outside into the yard but a fence would be handy, just in case she sees something outside the perimiter that she decides to chase.
Well Good For you! Now you can rest easier when your dogs are outside in the yeard. Yippie!
