Neighborhood dogs

With an unfenced, (non -dog proof) yard, what is the best way to keep the dogs off the garden railroad? And not make folks all mad.

I think you are looking for Garden Railways, they are two forums down on the forum index. We run our trains indoors, no strays here, sorry.[:D]

However, that invisible fencing (electronic ZAPPER) is available at PetsMart, but I believe that’s for keeping pooches IN and they must wear a special collar in order for it to work.
