Maybe. It will take an open mind, and working carefully with a Placement Specialist. Some of the smaller northern dogs will stay in such a fence, or an older dog. Possibly a trolley line might be used. There are some potential solutions to not having a high fence around the yard to provide security for your dog. Mostly, it takes more discipline and willingness to have a dog in such a yard than in one with a 6 foot fence.
