Let Your Dog Run Free — Safely.

A dog fence has one job: containment without worry. That means the right height for a jumper, the right gap spacing for a small dog, and dig-proofing for the determined escape artist — details a generic fence install ignores.

We design around your dog: breed, size, and habits. Dig guards along the bottom, self-latching gates, and sightline choices (some dogs are calmer when they can’t see the street) all come into the plan.

Which Fence Materials Work Best for a Dog Fence?

Three proven options — matched to your dog’s size, habits, and how much sightline you want to block.

Best Value

Chain Link Fence

Durable, climb-resistant, and budget-friendly — the classic dog run and backyard containment fence.

Clean Look

Vinyl Fence

Solid privacy panels calm reactive dogs by blocking sightlines, with no gaps to squeeze through.

Also Consider

Wood Fence

A classic 6-foot wood privacy fence contains most breeds and doubles as backyard privacy.

What to Know Before You Decide

Height for jumpers

Athletic breeds can clear 4–5 feet. For jumpers we recommend 6-foot fencing — going taller later costs far more than building it right the first time.

Gap spacing for small dogs

Puppy-picket aluminum and tight-mesh chain link keep small breeds from slipping through. We match spacing to your smallest dog.

Dig protection

For diggers, we add buried mesh or a concrete mow strip along the fence line so there’s nothing to tunnel under.

Gate security

Self-closing hinges and self-latching locks mean one distracted moment doesn’t become a loose dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most dogs, 4–5 feet is enough; for large or athletic breeds (huskies, shepherds, labs), go 6 feet. If your dog already jumps a 4-foot fence, a taller solid fence also removes the visual triggers.

We install a dig guard — galvanized mesh buried at the fence line and angled inward — or a concrete mow strip. Both are invisible once grass grows back and stop tunneling cold.
Reactive and territorial dogs are usually calmer behind solid fencing — if they can’t see the mail carrier or other dogs, they don’t rehearse the barking. Vinyl or wood privacy panels work best.
Yes — dedicated dog runs in chain link are one of our most common projects. A run protects your landscaping while giving the dog secure outdoor time.
Invisible fences don’t stop other animals or people from entering, and determined dogs run through them. A physical fence protects in both directions, which is why trainers and shelters recommend one.
