No clue, just responding to a statement you made
Dogs are social animals. Keep one on a chain outside 24/7, your creating a time bomb waiting to go off along with a host of other possible social issues.
My first dog had the same problem yet we addressed it and she turned out to be a pretty good dog.

We don't let our dogs roam outside without us.

I grew up in the 50's, in the country. People looked at dogs...especially the adults...a bit different then. They were more like farm animals, than pets; and in any case, they slept in the barn or the garage for the most part. When we first got married, we made out dogs stay outside, until we had our two daughters...and then our dogs were pets and were part of the family...and they sleep inside now.
Back in the 50's, and 60's it was also OK to let dogs run around terrorizing the countryside. That's a lot less acceptable now.

Some people have dogs for friendship.
Some people have dogs for yard art.
I'm definitely the former!

Do you ever see them? I've only seen one in my lifetime, and it was while glassing some deer on the opposite ridge. It walked from left to right, across the ridge. I guess it was visible for about 2 or 3 minutes. What amazed me the most was how fluid it looked. One of those things I'll never forget!!!

The issue is yard art is an inanimate object that dosen't cause issues eleswhere off your property, nor can it propagate.
I drove up for the Sunday paper this morning and saw 3 peices of art wearing collars basically walking up and down the road without any people near by. No doubt these people use dogs for yard art as well.
Dog has a job to do ouside working with other anmials, let them do their job, and generally, those dogs are happy performing those jobs and they don't wonder because they have a job to do. Otherwise, if you can't contain your dog and you let it do as it desires outside wondering onto other people's property, simple...don't own a dog.
I for the life of me can't understand why people who lose dogs or have their dogs hit by a car off their property keep getting dogs, only to have the same thing hapen again and again.

I don't understand how somebody can listen to a dog barking for hours on end without it driving them crazy... like it does to their neighbors.
Some breeds don't mind being outside, huskies are a good example. People who raise hounds leave them out and don't seem to notice the constant ruckus because the dogs want to be doing something.
Others such as retriever breeds are more social and are meant to be part of the family.
