Our acre mountain garden never had a fence and our dogs, their friends and uninvited guests roamed free throughout the area, often where we didn’t want them to ramble and play. We decided that current very social and playful resident golden retriever Spirit needed a fence. We found it entertaining to watch the visiting dogs reason out how to find the remaining unfenced parts of the yard. Paul & Toni mentioned to Lorelie and me that some dogs were clever (mostly female) and figured out how to get in to play with Spirit. “Watch Hannah – she can find any opening in a minute or two. If there’s an opening, she will find it.”
