What kind of fencing do you have? Maybe a tarp or something attached to it and then another small fence a foot or so away (we temporarily used a strong chicken wire type galvanized fencing at our old home. Inexpensive and found at a hardware store) to prevent Chase and the Bassets from meeting nose to nose. If you need ideas, maybe you can take pics of the area and we can help out. It's not a permanent solution but I think management is key while you're working on teaching new behaviors so that you're setting yourselves up for success.
The neighbours control their beagles by yelling at them So they'll be no help. Odd how we have three other neighbour dogs that aren't an issue though

If DH can't rig something up once the weather improves I'll upload a pic for sure!
