If you have a yard and want to allow your dog access to it, you’ll need some kind of fence for dogs to keep him in the yard. You have some basic choices when it comes to outside containment options for your dog, including solid fences; invisible or electronic fences; portable kennels; and tether, runner, or trolley systems.

Depending on your budget, your dog area restrictions, and how you use your yard, you may want to use more than one type of fence for dogs or other containment option to keep your dog safe.

If your dog digs under the fence, try burying an underground dog fence or chicken wire, metal hardware cloth, concrete landscape pavers about a foot deep all along the fence line to provide an underground barrier. Dog climbs over? You can try putting an additional foot or so of fencing along the top of the existing dog fence angled in toward the yard. For determined escape artists a backup invisible dog fence may be necessary.
