My dog is scared. How to keep cats out of my fenced backyard?

Question

My neighbor's cat has attacked my new little dog and me while I was trying to protect my dog. Dog was not growling, barking, and just sitting in my lap. Now I'm afraid to take my dog outside to go to the bathroom because that cat has come into the back yard in the past. Is there anything I can do to keep cats from coming into my fenced backyard? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 7 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Barney! I would try to talk to the owners of the cats first. If that doesn't work, contact Animal control and find out how you can legally (if owned) prevent them from entering your yard or have them come and capture the cats (strays or ferals). You can also purchase noise deterrents that are turned on my motion. Maybe over time the cats will avoid your yard if they find it "scary." I wish you and barney the best!
