Choosing The Best Fence For Your Dog: 3 Things To Consider

Keep Your Dog Safe, Happy & Out of Trouble

Installing a fence in your Rockingham County, VA, yard gives your dog the perfect balance of freedom and security. Fencing around your yard allows your furry friend to run, play and explore while keeping them from wandering off. Inside the safety of a fence, your dog can enjoy the outdoors while staying healthy and happy.

Why You & Your Dog Need A Fence

A fence is more than just a boundary—it simplifies your life while keeping your dog safe. Even well-trained dogs can dart off after a squirrel or scent, but with a secure fence, your dog can enjoy the outdoors without the risk of traffic or getting lost. It also makes daily routines easier. Instead of braving the cold or bad weather to walk your dog, you can simply open the door and let them out to use the bathroom or play. Your dog gets the freedom they crave, and you get more convenience and peace of mind.

Considerations For Your New Fencing

1. Choose The Right Height & Style To Prevent Escapes

During planning, your dog’s size and agility should be your first consideration. Smaller dogs may only need a four-foot fence, while larger breeds might require six feet to keep them from jumping. Vertical balusters should be closely spaced to prevent squeezing through. Or you can opt for solid styles to discourage climbing and digging.
2. Durable Materials Protect From Wear & Tear

Dogs can be tough on fences, especially if they like digging, chewing or leaning against them. Durable fencing made from materials like vinyl or aluminum can withstand years of your dog’s boundless energy.
3. Know Your Dog’s Visibility Preferences

If your dog tends to bark at passersby, interlocking vinyl privacy fencing may help keep them calm by blocking their view. On the other hand, some dogs enjoy watching their surroundings, so a picket or yard fence with more visibility will allow them to stay engaged with the outside world.

Bridget Smith

Dutch Way came this morning to begin the process of our vinyl fence. They have been extremely polite and easy to work with, knowledgable, patient and professional as we changed our minds a few times about what we wanted. Our fence posts are just starting to be put in, but I would already highly recommend them! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
