I have 6 ft wooden privacy fence around 2 sides and the back of my yard. The 3rd side is 8ft chain link. When my dobes are in the yard, they can pretty much handle just a few exchanged barks at the neighbor's dog (a Sheltie that is inside most of the time) then it's over. But there is a guy on a different street than me that walks 2 poodles and a shiz tzu together all the time, and he walks them past the chain link side of my yard. (My yard is adjacent to a little league ball diamond, hence the 8 ft chain link, and people walk their dogs there when it's not ball season) OMG--Darmok and one of the poodles have this intense dislike for each other and if there were ever a weak spot in the fence, I'm sure that Dar would rip that little fuzzball to shreds! The poodle has an attitude, and the owner even told me "he likes to start fights"...so I'm wondering why does he walk them right past my dogs when they are outside, then? Arrrgh! PEOPLE!
