[quote=Anonymous]We recently adopted an adult dog (vet's guess is 4-6 years old) and it's been great. Our kids are younger than yours, and still learning how to properly interact with a dog. The dog is extremely tolerant of our toddler, permitting everything and walking away (or running) when she's had enough. She apparently thinks our 5 year old is old enough to be trainable, she'll bark at him if he pets or pokes her too roughly. He told me that she snapped at him once, while the sitter was here and I wasn't around. None of us know exactly what happened, but after that I have put much more focus into supervising and teaching him how to behave toward the dog, and what not to do. So you can put us into the statistic I read somewhere, that 2/3 of children have been bitten by a dog, usually the family dog or a friend's dog. Is the invisible fence replaceable? Could you add a picket or chain link fence to the yard, instead of the invisible fence? [/quote]
