How Can You Stop Dogs From Digging Under the Fence?

t’s a frustrating sight for any pet owner in The Woodlands: your dog has just tunneled their way into the neighbor's yard. Some dogs are natural diggers, but there are several structural ways we can modify your fence to put an end to the "great escape."

L-Trenching and Concrete Mow Strips

The most effective solution is installing a "Concrete Mow Strip" directly under the fence line. A 4-inch wide strip of concrete prevents the dog from finding a soft spot in the dirt. Alternatively, we can install "L-Trenching," which involves burying a section of chain-link mesh horizontally under the ground, so when the dog tries to dig, they hit an impassable wire barrier.
