Great Idea that

The electric fence might pose even more legal problems if there are Kids in the neighborhood, it also might be flat illegal with an ajoining fence, I would check the laws first...

Watching the local news this morning, a man shot and killed his neighbor's pit bull. Apparently the dog had gotten out of its yard on numerous occasions running around the neighborhood and "acted" agressively towards adults and children. The owner did not take action to contain his dog. The news report stated the dog came into his yard and tried to attack the guy, so he shot in what the police called self-defence. The gun owner will not be charged with a crime and the dog's owner was cited for violating some city ordinace pertaining to dogs. The report did not state if the owner will try to seek some legal recourse for the loss of his dog.

We have a similar problem with one of our neighbors, they have 3 huge dogs, 2 of which are very aggresive, they could easily jump over the brick wall between our homes. I told my wife if we are ever playing with our son in the back yard and those dogs jump the wall, I will shoot them. Do what you have to do in order to protect your family.

Try either moth balls or coyote urine along your fence line. That should dissuade the dogs from digging into your property. Otherwise, pepper spray. But that would be a final choice for me. Good luck!
