The dogs are not freindly enough to get close too.

There is one very large dobermin that makes me very nervous.
If he got a hold of one of the kids it would be bad.

I know a few of the dogs belong to some of the neighbors and we have told them to keep them away but they won't keep them locked up.
We are out in BFE as far as the police or animal control is concerned.
It's hard to get them to come out when you need them.

I do own 2 dogs myself and I would never just let them run loose.

Would a leg trap work on dogs?
I know my wifes father has a few old leg traps in his garage.
The problem is with not being at home during the dayI need something I can set and check once a day.
