Securing Your Yard

It may not make sense to you that the same dog is so happy to see you when you get home may want to find its way into the backyard to freedom, but many dogs are lost each year because of that. Most dogs are not a good idea of the dangers posed by cars. Once out of your garden, they may just follow interesting scents and be so focused on those they are not aware of vehicles approaching. They can also get frightened and run right into traffic. Many breeds are efficient diggers. They can tunnel under a fence wood with ease. A rear door that is not well latched can also give your dog an escape route. With smaller breeds, only a gap of several inches between the slats can be enough for them to slip. Think about this in a positive way: your dog tries not to leave your house, He may be trying to find you.

The first thing you should do is check the perimeter of your yard for any gaps in the fence. A simple solution is to dig down six inches below ground and affix narrow gage wire fence material to your existing fence. You can keep the fence in place below ground by burying bricks, rocks or pavers. Thus, it will be harder for your dog to tunnel under, and have the added advantage or make it harder for rodents or snakes to enter your yard. You may also want to padlock your gate. A strong dog may try to push the door, and some gates with loose latches can even be blown open by the wind. Keep your fence in good condition is important. If the dog can find a loose or weak slat to chew through, he will.

Security in court

Your backyard with beautiful trees, flowers, the herb and vegetable garden may seem like paradise for you and your dog will surely love to let off steam there, but there are also security considerations well, and you want to make sure that your plants tender are protected from your dog.

Again, dogs love to dig. Some breeds, in fact, just digging. For them, it is part of the joy of being alive. They do not care if they dig up is a flower Garden precious, or the spinach crop you have carefully tended since early spring. And a dog does not mind at all taking a shortcut through the flower beds trampling as it goes. You may consider to close areas of your yard to protect your plants. This is particularly the case with frisky young pups. As your dog grows you can teach him to stay out of the flower or vegetable garden, but a puppy it seems like a playground.
