having owned dogs, and seeing this picture, i can tell you: it's not a matter of IF they'll dig their way under the fence, but WHEN. if you're not keen on that idea, you can put 24" pavers all along the fence, or ask the neighbor to do their side

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Planting something with deep roots around where they dig should help too, right?
No, but exercising and walking them will.
Hah.
Bahahaa
That was my exact thought. My neighbor planted some holly bushes and they still come hang out in my yard from time to time. They're good dogs and I don't mind at all.
My neighbor profusely apologized about her dogs in my backyard. I told her I didn't mind if they put a gate or doggy door in the fence the dogs could come through if she or her husband would pick up the poop. Even offered to walk the dogs in the mornings since I was home when they weren't, but she was to embarrassed to agee.
