KD you are a better person then most. Glad your dog's alright and im sure your neighbor is very happy you were able to restrain from killing her dog.

my dogs are like my kids if a dog attacks them or my kids they are getting shoot. just like if my dogs got out and attacked someone or there dogs i would expect them to do the same. In TN there is a leashes law

Quick update...I guess my parents were both out in the yard the other day and the pitbull charged the fence. My dad told my mom that if he does get in our yard to go ahead and shoot it. I'm assuming the neighbors were outside and heard this (they didn't approach my parents), but ever since then the dog has not charged the fence or been outside.

Anyways, as far as gun selection goes, she is getting a youth 20g and I bought a bottle of bear spray for her as it has a much longer range. Thanks for all the tips thus far. They liked the nails in the fence idea, but don't want to start a neighbor battle. HOA has not gotten back with them either concerning pet disturbances or the razor wire.

ya that talking out loud when the neighbors are outside always works
