How can I keep my dog off the rode ?

well I understand what you are all saying but I live on a small country road so there was never a very big danger of him being hit by a car but a lot off people do walk the roads and wev hade him for 6 years and hes never don anything before and I think it cruel to keep a dog in a house are in a run ( especially when hes hade the run off the country for 6 years ) and I am not a bad dog owner just becas my dog bit someone it wasnt my fault are the dogs I know the man hes not nice I just want to know if a fence with chicken wire would do the trick ? are if there anywhere I could get a cheap radeo fence ?

Unless your dog is in the house or in a fenced and secure backyard, you need to put him on a leash and keep him on a leash, when he’s outside. You should Not be allowing your dog to run loose. Not only can he bite someone and you can get in serious trouble for that, but he can get hit by a car and seriously injured or killed. It is very irresponsible of you, to be letting him run around loose.

LEASH walk the dog.

Sh*t happens… a frightened person shaking a stick looks “shady” even in the friendliest dog’s eyes. Some of us live in the country, where a “person walking down the road” is a highly rare occurance. A one time incident does not a bad dog owner make…

So…figure out how much it will cost to build a dog run…Steel fence posts and “horse wire”…which comes in rolls and has small squares…It takes labor to install, but it’s not hard to do, just hard work…A roll of wire is about $80, the posts are like $3 - $5 each… The total cost would be dependent on how big an area you want to do.

little story for you, I work at a vet hosptial and A older man would walk to the end of the driveway every day and cross the road to get the mail, (country road) his Lab would always sit and stay at the end of the driveway, except about a year ago when the came into the vet hospital because the Lab crossed the street to go to him and got hit by a car and died. Please know that if you are going to have a pet you are the one that has to proved the safety for this animal and for the people walking the road, it is your job to give the dog direction.
