All very good suggestions!!

To the fence idea..to much area to fence in and the RR has an easement thru the middle of the property so that would kinda put a kink in their access.

Going to spend the day brainstorming a solution as the morning wake up call was a jogger with a loose dog passing within feet of the dog yard. I think I heard my dogs yell SNACK!! but they couldn't get to it wink
