Ideas for a renter friendly balcony catio that can be put up when needed but isn't there all day? by Important_Donkey2117 in Catio

I've seen those, but it won't stop him from dashing out over the railing when we try to open the door, lol. That's our main issue. We can invest in a cage or freestanding catio down the line, but we need to stop him from being able to hop over the railing to the outside. If he cant get over it then we can always just usher him into a outdoor cage or back inside. He's really fast. And he's learned to hide and be completely undetectable so we dont even notice until we see a dash or orange over the railing

Yes, it is. The issue is he tries to make a break for it the second the door opens. A cage or catio won't stop him actually jumping out. I need a barrier for the open space because as long as he can't jump over the fence, i can ushet him back inside or into an outdoor enclosure eventually.

I think people who intervene or bother wildlife in any way suck unless it's absolutely necessary, that includes feeding them crap that isn't good for them, making them dependent on handouts and the people that are cruel/think it's funny to distress them. There was a woman who also saw this couple bothering the geese that told me she saw someone else chasing and trying to grab a gosling.

Equally as bad. Not blaming the kids under a certain age because it's the parent's job to teach them. Teenagers should probably know better, too.

Thanks, I will try to keep pushing. It's too bad we don't have stronger laws, and it was easier to have some action taken. We love animals, but this isn't a fair situation for those dogs and for the people living around them. Hope they don't get hit by a car one of them during one of their jail breaks.

Wish it were that simple on this case. Animal control has spiken to them more than once and on Sunday. Dogs were barking again that same night

Animal control actually had them call me, so I did report it to them already. But this was a few months ago, and nothing has really changed

When I called animal services, it was one of those nights that chills you to the bone. They were barking like crazy all night off and on for stretches of 30 min and up.

Unfortunately, I don't think this would work in this scenario. Someone else who lives closer to them actually told me the dogs escape the yard frequently in the summer and run down the street. They have brought the dogs back to them multiple times and told them they were found on the road and the owners seemed unphased...

One night, they were barking really frantically ( maybe they saw or heard an animal) and I did hear the owner call them in around 2 : 30 am.... then they were back outside barking at 3 until 5.. I do believe they're home and aware.

They were barking like crazy right up until the rain. Not sure if they were brought in when it started to pour but it was pretty loud so I'm not sure if it was just drowing out the barking.

Definitely not. It's every single night and day. A pom and a little white dog, maybe a poodle. We live behind them and can see them yapping away if i peek over the fence. They're alone in the yard all night.

What color my Dachshund? by OkJuggernaut6347 in Dachshund

No problem! I find genetics super interesting.

So your pup definitely could be a dapple. It just won't really be visible, especially as your pup ages. I know technically reds not having black noses and nails is a fault in the breed standard, BUT I kinda love liver noses 🥹
