Hi,

Just curious what the rest of you may be doing on this. There are many
versions (some better depeending on your climate and lay of the ground).

In our case, it's a standard (for our area) 6ft tall dog-ear wood fence (The
cut of the top panels is called a 'dog ear' hence the name) in the back
yard. 80x25ft with side extensions going to 40ft deep around the house.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with behavior.

Oh yes it does. Type of fence used may relate to dog behavior or type added
may be related to curbing it. One person may have good ideas for easy fixes
for dogs that like to 'dig underneath' while another may have personal
experience with electronic fences and where they work (or didnt) for them
based on their dog.

We have 6' chain link. We have a smaller yard which is on the side,
off a side door, with a gate into the larger yard. It was used mostly
for foster dogs but has proved to be a handy thing to have,
particularly with the latest rescue Borzoi.

It has a heck of a lot more to do with behavior than your arguments about
raw feeding and vaccinations. There IS a newsgroup for that (RPDH), yet you
post here. PKB and all that...

A good fence not only makes good neighbors, it can help make good dogs
too.

In the alt.home.repair we had a thread on this and it was pretty interesting
how some of the dog owners had so many different needs. From ones with
serious 'diggers and jumpers' to those who just needed to control a chichi
sort of little fellow of 5 lbs max.

LOL, a friend of mine had to put up a wood fence because the dog learned to
climb a chain link type. (Now the cat climbs the wood one!).

The new fence is basically abutted to the ground with no barrier so we are
watching carefully if we need to adapt around digging behavior. I figure
some big pavers up against them would handle that and be easier than
anything else.

From the looks of the yard in your video, you have a larger one than I do
which you'd need for those rascals! Privacy from neighbors probably not an
issue there while it is here.

Yeah, side run would be good when introducing a new denizen to the mix.

The side yard was originally for foster dogs, as it leads to an area
we used to use as a kennel. We don't keep new residents separate for
long, but I've been warned not to let this Borzoi out in the big yard
until she's comfortable enough that I know she'll come right in -
otherwise it will take me forever to catch her. She's not there yet.
But a separate yard is handy for all kinds of situations.

I have a small front and back garden. The fences in the back garden are
wooden panel or various heights and the front are chain link and palisade
panels about 3ft 6ins. Dibby can't jump the fences but I have to check
there are no small gaps he can squeeze through.
