Hi all, I know this sounds stupid but I've been having problems with a little random dog coming into my yard and trying to jump in the pool my goldfish are in. I can't keep it out of my yard as it fits through every crack in the fence and gate. I often have random dogs visit and eat the scraps in my yard, but this is the only one that seems suicidal.
The pool is covered with bird netting but if this dog falls onto the netting and it breaks (its only cheap netting and its been in the weather a while now and already ripped in some places) there's no possible way it can get back out of the pond/pool unless it tears the pool open from the inside. Unless I'm looking at the cameras if/when the dog falls in it would likely drown before I seen it, unless it can swim for literal hours...
I've been sitting on my couch watching the security cameras all night and in the last hour alone have had to shoo it out of my yard four times already because its tried to jump in the pond - its 1:00am here and I'm ready for bed, but I'm worried that I'm going to wake up to a dead dog with my goldfish or a ripped pool and no goldfish.
While I don't want the dog to drown in my yard I can't watch my cameras 24/7 (mainly because I want sleep!) nor have I been able to catch the dog to bring inside until the dog catcher can pick it up.
Any suggestions guys? Anything at all would be great! Thanks in advance.
