[quote=Anonymous]If your are aware that your dog can jump your fence, then if you choose to leave the dog unattended in the yard, then you are absolutely responsible for any damage the dog may do.  If you have an elderly neighbor that walks on your side of the street, even though there is no sidewalk, and your dog jumps the fence and knocks her over, you will be responsible for any injury or medical expenses (I've seen this actually played out).  If your dog jumps the fence and crosses the street to attack/assault a smaller dog, you will be fully responsible.

Your choices, do NOT put the dog out in the yard, get a chain and chain the dog when she is outside, or build a higher fence.  If your HOA does not allow the higher fence, then you need to appeal for an exemption because your dog can jump the fence.  If the HOA does not allow that, you are back to option 1 or 2 and ultimately may have to find another home for the dog or just bear the risk that you might become liable for very expensive consequences.[/quote]
