Thanks for the advice! The problems with the invisible fence and our
situation are many. I have looked into it and while it may work
sometimes, I need something that works all the time every time.

For those suggesting to just add the hot wire I have additional
concerns beyond the by-laws. There are plenty of kids in the area
(including mine) and I don't want to get into a situation where a kid
gets zapped on my fence.

Honestly doing the doggy Alcatraz fence is the better solution to the
alternatives: Get rid of dogs (nope), tie up dogs (likely to get
injured; huskies play rough), build a dog run (I'd rather a tall fence
around my yard than in my yard).

I like the idea of sleeving the existing posts. The immediate concern
is are the corner posts strong enough to handle the added height.
Perhaps I can replace the corner posts and sink those deep while
keeping and sleeving the existing line posts. Since the spacing is
the same I can re-use the top posts (reduce, re-use, recycle!) and
most of the hardware. There was also a suggestion of reusing keeping
the existing chain link and adding another strip on top. I could buy
some 4' or 5' (1' overlap) fencing to do that but then would I have to
"mesh" the fences together? Has anyone tried this? Could I run a
tension wire through both meshes or should I do some kind of splicing
(that seems labor intensive)?

This is good stuff, thanks!
