Why They’re Important

Dogs need space to run and play. Letting them expend their energy in the right environment means they’ll be happier and less likely to trash the house. Fencing around your yard creates a space where they can safely run free. You won’t need to worry about them darting out in front of passing traffic or jumping up on people walking by your home. With a high-quality fence, you can leave them outdoors unsupervised with the priceless peace mind that they are safe.

What to Consider

fencingA wooden fence tends to be ideal for dogs since you want a strong fence that they cannot see through. Being able to look at people and animals on the other side of the fence will encourage barking and tempt them to try to escape. Avoid see-through and climbable materials such as chain link fencing.

You also want a fence that is tall enough that your dog cannot jump over. Get a fence that is six feet or higher for larger breeds, while four or five feet is typically high enough for small breeds. If your dog has a tendency to dig in the yard or will be spending a lot of time outdoors unsupervised, install your fence below the ground. Digging a trench one foot deep before installing the fence will prevent them from being able to dig underneath the fence and escape.
