Okay so I don't know if you remember my little Boston Terrier Baxter. But he is a trouble maker lately. The neighbor near us has a little dog and a big pit bull dog. The little dog has puppies. Here lately every time I let Baxter out he takes off to the neighbors to see the puppies. I can hear the neighbors yelling at Baxter then the little dog chases him all the way home. He comes running up with a big smile on his face. How am I going to break him of this? He thinks it is a game. And all he wants to do is see the puppies. I am afraid the big dog is going to get him one day. He just started doing this since the puppies were born. If I turn my back for a second he is gone.
Seize The Day!

I would say most definitely a Baxter proof fenced yard!
Another option is the invisible fence. A good friend of ours has her yard fenced with this and it keeps her heelers and shepherds in. The only down side I see is that it doesn't keep the OTHER dogs out like a traditional fence would.
Good luck with Baxter!

I wouldn't let Baxter run loose with those conditions, I'd teach him how to walk or go out on a leash.

build him a dog run to be in, instead of him running loose when you are not able to keep him on leash, otherwise you will lose him, one way or another

Why doesn't the neighbor let Baxter see the puppies and sniff them and maybe that is all he needs. MB

Looks like Baxter is convincing you he has to be leashed. I know you don't want to fool around with a bigger dog teaching him to stay home. Good luck.
