I think that you should find out if the waves are stopped by your fencing
structure. If they're not, then that in it's own way is trespassing. It is
no different from an invading tree. If it causes discomfort to your dog,
then it is bound to cause discomfort to other dogs too, if the fence does
not stop the waves. In my opinion, people who use these and allow them to
"spill out" of their property should be taken to court for animal cruelty.
The person who lived opposite me used to have one to scare away squirrels
and cats from his property (my cat didn't go there - doesn't like crossing
the road since he was hit by a car!). and he allowed placed it in such a way
that it spilled out of his front lawn and through our gate where our dogs
enjoy laying and barking at cars and other mobile devices (especially remote
control cars). With the gate being the only entrance and exit to our
property, we couldn't walk our dogs for well over a week as they would be in
intense pain as they went near this area.

Please, please, check if your boundary fence stops the waves and if it
doesn't please consider other methods, as you may well be physically hurting
other animals on their own turf.

There has been considerable discussion on this NG regarding cats, and
keeping them off our gardens.
I purchased a device called "Ca****ch", an electronic device that
floods the immediate area in which it is placed with ultra sonic
sound. Cats find this intolerable and avoid the area in which it is
working. That at least is the theory.
My garden is small, fenced on three sides with the house on the other
4th side, and surrounded by cat owning households, including two cats
next door. The garden is approximately 5 metres by 6 metres and rises
up gently from the back of the house.
The device is placed on the conservatory window at the same level as
the higher part of the garden. It works off a mains supply via a
step-down transformer, but can be 9volt battery operated. The mains
lead is at least 10 metres long which gives you plenty of latitude as
to where it can be placed. The device seems to have no effect on the
bird life, but we turn it off when our dog is in the garden as she
seems to be upset by it. But then her presence in the garden by day
is enough to keep the cats out anyhow.

The cost was £46 plus £12 for adaptor and transformer ,delivery and
vat extra.
Since installing this cat scarer we have seen so cats, no sign of
cats, no disturbance in our flower beds, and best of all no cat turds
littering the area. It does seem to work well, and I recommend it to
anyone with a similar size of garden to me.
I hasten to add that I have no connection with this firm, other than
as a very satisfied user.
