I am lucky enough to live in the sticks and we have enough land where I can just let my Boston Terrier just run around. He loves it. Everyone in the neighborhood just lets their dogs go. At any given time you may see 4 or 5 dogs in my yard...but yet only one is mine. He invites his friends over. Matter of fact, sometimes they'll be standing at the back door looking in, we joke that they are asking "Can Cujo come out to play?"

I recently installed a privacy fence for my brother in law who has a Beagle. Beagles tend to follow their nose, and he's been on a chain every time he goes out. So their new fence will be great for the dog and the owner. Tons of work to install tho. 

I recently found this cool product for those of you who have privacy fences. Check out Pet Peek. It is a nautical looking bubble that you install in your fence that allows the dog to look out. I think it's a great idea. I'm wondering if this would cut down on barking since he can see what's happening now? Although, on the other hand, does it increase barking since he can see what's happening now?

Either way, dogs will bark if they are enclosed or restricted. I think Pet Peek is a very creative product.
