Dog Fencing
A new dog fence should be of sufficient height to discourage jumping. If the fence
isn't high enough, consider a jumping harness that prevents the dog from leaping,
or install "barbed wire arms," those angled steel extensions for the top of the fence.
String the arms with plain wire or fence fabric instead of barbed wire, and the dog
can't jump or climb up, over, and out.

Safe, excellent for foals and keeping wildlife OUT of your paddocks, as well as your dogs in. Varieties include non-climb, high tensile, diamond. Requires some maintenance, keeping wires tight. Medium to high cost. Solid top rail or hot wire to keep stock off fence is recommended.
Chain link fence, also known by some as cyclone fence, is one of the most popular choices of fence for both light residential to heavy commercial fence applications. Chain link fence is one of the most practical styles of fence, relatively easy to install, and very cost effective.
Chain link fence is most commonly available galvanized which is silver in color. We also carry colored chain link fence fabric, framework (posts and rail), colored fence fittings, gates (swing and slide), and gate hardware for all fencing applications. Colored fence fittings and chain link framework (posts and rails) are either powder coated, or coated in a heavy vinyl coated (PVC) material in standard colors such as black, dark brown, and dark green. White is also available as special order fencing. It is not uncommon to combine the two and stretch a vinyl coated chain link fabric on a galvanized frame.
Some dog fencing is rather expensive, so don't be shy about fencing a small area for the dog even if your yard is huge. Emphasize length; a dog run 10 feet wide and as long as possible in your yard allows the dog to run up and down and exercise nicely.
Don't worry about dogs jumping over or digging under fences. First, a young puppy raised with a particular fence, even a low one, will likely grow up with a respect for that fence and won't try to escape even when full grown. To prevent digging under, bury the bottom of the fence several inches in the ground or fill a narrow trench along the perimeter of the fence with concrete. If the dog digs holes along an established fence, fill the holes with concrete or patio blocks.
