The choice to get the dog was ours - why would our neighbours be responsible for suddenly upping the fence security?!

Glad I am not the only one who appears to have "overlooked" such posts!

Perhaps if you spent less time manufacturing underhand motives for posters which are entirely baseless and more time on actually reading, digesting and considering the balanced views expressed your posts would be the same!
It's also interesting how, yet again, you just launch into personal attacks on people - and try to negate it with the usual rolly eyes smiley. But then again - no one's ever allowed a different opinion are they?

The onus is on the dog owner to make sure the dog cannot get out. Whether that be by constructing some other sort of fence INSIDE of the neighbour's fence, or restraining it in some other way.
Gawd - talk about how to get on with your neighbours! You don't want my dog in your yard - well tough - better build a stronger fence then

Ps perhaps you had better acquaint yourself with the emoticon in question, it reflect a person rolling their eyes and thus "negates" nothing!
I cannot see anywhere where I have said people are not allowed opinions dear, is that yet another flight of your imagination. ?

Now that it is weak, the neighbour should replace it. Any further dogproofing should be done by the owner.
