What is the Best Fence for Dogs?

Best Fence DogsAs a dog owner, you have several responsibilities, not the least of which is exercise. Dogs, like people, require regular exercise. This means running around the yard, chasing sticks and the occasional squirrel. So you have several options. For starters, you can keep your dog on a leash, walk around with them as they do their “business,” and run around with them as they chase everything in sight. In the words of Sweet Brown, ain’t nobody got time for that! Of course, you could install a dog zip line to allow your dog to run up and down your yard. And up and down…up and down…up and down. Even a dog will get tired of the same boring pattern. Finally, you can install a fence and let your dog have his/her run of the backyard. But that brings us to our next question…

What is the Best Fence for Dogs?

Likely, the breed of dog will dictate the style and height you will need. Simply put: some dogs are bigger than others and can just jump higher. If you own a smaller dog, say a poodle, you can probably get away with just about any fence on the market. Larger dogs, like German Shepherds, require larger fences. But if we had to choose the BEST fence for dogs, we would go with a Privacy Fence. And The Whole Dog Journal, an online periodical dedicated to man’s best friend, agrees.

A privacy fence is the best option to keep your dog safely confined to your yard. These fences are durable enough to stand up to your dog’s constant jumping, and tall enough to keep them from leaping to freedom. And because they are relatively solid, privacy fences will prevent your K-9 from becoming aroused by outside stimuli, like the mailman or another dog.
