They might be able to scale a 5′ fence…not jump it. I would be worried about them breaking through the fence too. They can tear one up pretty fast. They can also just get out, and if they get urge, attack you or your kids in your front yard. I had an elderly neighbor friend back in the city who barely survived being taken down by two of these animals.

If you see them beating on the fence at all you have to put a stop to that. Maybe as a precaution run a temporary wire fence with t-post on the shared fence in case they knock a few boards out.

What kind of moron landlord rents to someone with 3 pit bulls? Why don’t you call and ask the owner if they are aware that these dogs are here and if they are concerned about the liability or your children. That’s why the girls live there, because they found someone so lame as to let the dogs live there too.
