I'm a fan of the dog approach. Many members on here can vouch for the fact that in reality, my dog (black lab x great dane) wouldn't hurt anyone. But she's big, (front paws on my chest/shoulders, and I'm 6'4"). No one in their right mind is going to jump a fence and stand face to face with a big black barking dog.

You mentioned that you think a dog would get hit by a car. Does this mean you dont have a front fence?
