That works for the guy who owns the dogs and the fences involved. But strangers walking down the road are not likely to be aware of the whip or its proper use when the dogs attack,which the ones in Edmond did. I am told that the wireless fence was shown to be working properly.

I think the litigation is still ongoing, and the city has not yet revised its ordinance, but is in the process of reviewing it. Ordinance in question being the one that requires that dogs be confined or on leash.
