Sometimes your brain overthinks itself.  You have no idea what my yard looks
like.  To enter, being I've had dogs for quite sometime, there is a double
entry gate that is 6 feet apart.  Yes, you have to open one gate, walk to the
other while the first gate closes then open the second gate.  Now, if a child
can do that, especially when the latch is at the 5 foot level then thy are old
enough to read and comprehend.  Plus, I'm sure if they get past the first gate
(which is locked BTW) they'll be met with a stern look before they even hae a
chance to open the 2nd gate. According to ALL courts of law in this country, a
double entry is considered "proper" restraint from an accidential escape where
anyone could be injured on public property. Once you get passed the 2nd gate
then that person is on their own.  Now, if those looking to gain entry jump the
fence, that is considered illegal entry and all bets are off.  

Lee, smart dog owners have been doing such things for years.  It's common sense
and sorry to say if said "intruder" doesn't understand the layout of this
particular fencing when it comes to a deterant in both them coming in and the
dogs getting out, maybe they deserve what they get.  Either way, a court of law
would laugh at said "defendent" if indeed they were able to make it to court.
