Key takeaways
- Height should match how high your dog can jump
- Diggers need a buried or mounted barrier
- Small dogs need tight bottoms and pickets
- Latches should be hard for a dog to open
Every dog escapes differently, so a good pet fence starts with the dog.
Jumpers
Taller fences and solid sides help, because dogs jump less when they cannot see out.
Diggers
A buried edge or a dig guard stops tunnels.
Squeezers
Small dogs slip through wide gaps, so spacing and bottoms matter. Do not forget the gate latch.
