Dog peek fence windows - what do you think?

First topic message reminder :

Sorry for the bombardment of debate threads! I love discussing stuff like this!



The idea is to fix one of those into your fence, so that your dog can look around the outside world.

I have a few concerns with this. While I might walk past a fence and smile at a dog peering through his peek window, I'd worry that somebody else may see that as an opportunity to steal him or get a nice, long look at any theft-worthy items in the garden.

I'd say it probably also encourages owners to leave their dogs out in the garden all day, with nothing else to do, as the peek hole 'lets them stimulate their mind without play'. Although that's probably more to do with the owner than the peek hole.

Another worry would be other dogs. If a dog's head seemingly comes looming out of a fence in front of a nervous or aggressive dog, this could spark problems, particularly as the dog walker probably wouldn't be prepared for something like that.

On the whole, I find it an interesting idea, but not something I'd look to buy.

That's pretty much what would worry me, in my situation.

That, and the fact that Demps is an idiot and would probably keep head butting the bubble.

Ditto for Tyson.
