Pets, right? They are always a handful, always keeping the high-energy vibes, giving you plenty of love but equal amounts of headaches with their antics. In particular, the dogs, with their eccentric habits of digging everywhere and running off from your home, it can be really difficult to reign them in. Heck, even if you put up a fence yourself or hire a reliable fencing contractor like Big Jerry’s Fencing to install one, the dogs still find a way to escape or do damage to the fence, like digging at the base and going under it.
The question is, what can you do to prevent that? That’s what we, Big Jerry’s Fencing, are here to help you out with today. Through a number of suggestions that you can try, you’ll have your fence remain sturdy, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing. So, let’s get to it:
Put A Blockade at The Base by Digging the Earth and Implanting Chicken Wire
This method involves a degree of deception so your dog can learn not to approach the fence’s base. You will bury a layer of chicken wire deeper underneath the fence, covering it with the earth and dirt, then secure it via dirt and stapling its ends to the fence. Every time your dog walks over the chicken wire, this will make it very uncomfortable for it, and that will instinctively make them retreat.
Landscaping as A Preventive Barrier
Shift heavy rocks and deep foliage around the base of the fence, and this will create a huge barrier and obstacle for your dogs. The natural element of this method will serve a dual purpose. In addition to stopping them from going under the fence, the landscaping will create a naturally picturesque aesthetic for you.
Spray Repellants to Discipline Your Dog
A surefire way to prevent your dogs from digging underneath your fence is to spray a repellant at regular intervals. The dog repellants will create an unpleasant odor which will deter your dog from even approaching the fence’s border.
