My dad shot his last dog that wouldn't stay inside the fenceline (it's only a barbed wire fence to keep the neighbours cows out of his property). It kept wandering up to the neighbours place which is about half a km away.
The dog he has now is pretty good. She goes for long gallops all over the place, but never goes up to the neighbours. Her favourite passtime is catching hares and rabbits.
We have two dogs, and if we leave the gate open, they'll bugger off up the street. i don't agree with dogs being 'let out' in residential areas, but when you're in a rural area, it's a bit different imo.
