How to Keep Muddy Paws Out of the House
Ranked #6,615 in Pets & Animals, #165,820 overall | Donates to BuckHawk Center Animal Rescue
Unless you enjoy cleaning up muddy pawprints...
Did you know hidden fencing can be used not only to contain your dog within the yard, but it can also be used to keep your dog out of certain areas of the yard? Landscape containment is becoming more and more popular to keep dogs out of certain areas, but still free to safely roam the rest of the yard.
Landscape containment is a matter of splicing onto the main wire that goes around your yard and placing the wire in the areas that you don't want your dog to be able to get to. Configurations can sometimes be tricky, but that's what we're here for. We're always happy to offer a free consult as to what the possibilities for your yard might be.
Let's hear what you've got to say about muddy paws?

How can underground fencing help?
-
By keeping dogs out of the landscaping, we prevent:
- Muddy paws
- Digging in the gardens
- Destroying plants
- Sickness from eating plants
- Mulch consumption - Keeping dogs from jumping on painted fences or decks
- Containment of playground areas to keep dog poo out of the child friendly areas
- Containment of whirlpool and/or pools to keep dogs from going for an unsolicited swim
- Containment of air conditioning units for the extreme chewers

Maybe a visual will help explain this...
The solid yellow lines are the new invisible boundaries for the dog.
This picture illustrates how a dog would be safely contained within the yard and not allowed in the garden. Thus it would keep the dog away from potentially dangerous plants in the garden, keep him from eating mulch, and keep him away from all that tempting dirt to dig in.
Please note: Where ever the wires are together or "twisted" or "braided" as is called in the industry, the dog can safely cross within the yard.

- I did not know this was an option, really cool. I really can't do this with my own dogs since they don't wear collars at home. I have to keep their coats in show condition.

- That would definitely help. Our dog would wear a trail on his rounds sniffing out stuff in the yard, so it would be a challenge to put an invisible fence around that, but it would keep a dog out of the garden, for sure. Great lens!
