dogs

I have lived in my house for two years now, and every day as I come and go from it, the dogs charge the fence and bark at me like mad at me. Now don't get me wrong my neighbor is great but the dogs... not so much. They have the tendency to get out of the fence and roam the neighborhood "doing their business" on peoples lawns, damaging property and killing other animals including several chickens owned by the people on the other side of Center Street (the busiest street in town.) The other day I was babysitting their kids when a police officer came to the gate, I went out to see what was going on and he said he had gotten complaints about my dogs... I then explained to him that they were not mine, and while I was doing so, the dogs squeezed through the fence and sniffed him circling the whole time and confirming all the complaints...
