Hey Everyone.
I have been having MAJOR issues with our dogs digging out the last couple of months.We have tried using blocks and burying wire in the areas they dig, but ultimately they just move to another area and do the same thing again. I had considered invisible fencing, but our back yard is only 1/4 acre and I don't like the idea of fencing that punishes the dog for getting too close, so I started looking through the internet for alternate ideas. None of the ones I found quite seemed like the right choice for our yard, but then I got an idea. What if I laid some chicken wire on the ground right against the fence and secured it with anchor staples? I feel like this could provide a non-diggable (I know that's not a word) barrier between the fence and the yard of 12 to 18 inches. Now of course I think I have a great idea, but before I invest in it I would like some constructive criticism. Please tell me if you think it is a bad/unreasonable idea and why?
Thanks!
