I'm hearing potential problems, but I'm not hearing no.

IM, you cracked it! Infinite renewable energy for all thanks to killer dog implosions.

We'd also probably need to think about very good padding on the turbines themselves. Making the turbine hold up to flying dog is not all that big of a problem in the grand scheme, but what if a dog strikes the turbine and is instantly killed? It will cause an implosion within the turbine itself. It would be exceptionally hard to make the turbine stand up to that.

The comment I responded to was getting on top of the crates. Which aren't going to be 11ft tall. The wall, on the other hand, might be.

The problem comes if the crates are tall enough to make the difference in height between them and the wall jumpable.

Sure you need a sufficiently tall wall. Dogs can jump (but the height is limited) but cannot climb.

This is why it is easy to fence in dogs.

Now if these are big cats you have a bigger problem.

Yeah, no shit, buddy. The problem, again, is making sure that enough crates are stacked that the dogs can't jump up, and that there are none nearby they can use as stairs.

Sure you would have to stack them such that the dogs could not get on top of them.
