How do i make my front garden 'Dog proof'?
My garden is doggy proof (save for dog)


First step : Fence


Second : avoid any poisonous plants/ fruits /grapes ( some Palm tree have poisonous grapes - Also no coconuts palm trees) / flowers...For example Lantanas are good because they will keep iguanas from eating your other plants but they poisonous for kids and dogs...


Third : No bushes with spines





If you are scared that your dog will destroy your yard : Take a trainer... It is a dog How can he know ?
Reply:fill it with lions and it will be too scared to go in it
Reply:If u want a nice garden i suggest the following. Around ur garden, install a small raised step, no more than 1 inch will suffice.Next, remove ur dogs rear legs and attach a skateboard to the rear of the dog. That way he will be mobile, but cant negotiate the step.Also, heres a latin name for u :want-a-dog-but-dont-want-the-hassles-of...
Reply:Use plants with thorns. If you want flowers run a double or triple high electric fence around the flower garden. Fence the whole yard to keep him in.





Large shrubs in wire cages would work too. You also need a lot of luck.
Reply:Mines? Maybe not, there really are no plants that are dog proof, I have known a dog to chew roses (really well grown thorny roses) to the point of having just a stump left. Only removing the dog from the vicinity of the plant allowed a recovery, it is transformed. The only practical thing you can do is keep the dog away from the garden.
Reply:fence
