She chatted with the neighbor for awhile and then headed home with the collar in her hand. When she got up off the ground she determined that the fence worked quite well.

Unless you seriously do the invisible fence, or have a third car garage to lock the Boxster away from little people - you just have to accept that *something* might happen to it.

I was in the garage one day when I saw my 2 year old put his matchbox car up onto the side of the Boxster and proceed to make "vroom vroom vroom" sounds as he rolled the car all down the car... by the time i got to him, I had some nice little scratches....

if the car was brand new and flawless I would have probably crapped..but it's a 10+ year old car, and already has lots of OTHER little scratches... so I just figured, oh well.... it wasn' tTHAT bad of a scratch.... eventually I'll get a hardcore detail buffer job done and they will all be gone....

along the same lines as the invisible fence....we have a bark collar for our little maltese...I felt it only fair to at least "try it" to know what I was subjecting my little dog to. After trying it out on myself, I don't make her wear it anymore... OUCH!

Invest in an electric dog collar or an electric fence.

But really I would just explain to your kids to be respectful and aware, but be prepared for the worst. Accidents happen, I am always extremely careful around my Boxster, but it hasn't stopped me from accidentally scratching it in a few places. Life happens.
