Written by Invisible Fence® Brand | September 17, 2019 at 6:02 PM

Many home-owners are looking for ways to keep their dogs from digging in the garden, keep their dog out of the flower beds, and keep their dog from eating plants. We have put together our top tips and tricks to dog-proof your garden and keep your four-legged friend from becoming a garden pest.
 

Keep My Dog from Digging in my Garden

Dogs often dig to find a cooler spot. Prevent your dog from digging by providing him access indoors, so he can have a place to cool off. With the Doorman™ Electronic Pet Door, you can easily give your pet access to the A/C to reduce the chances of digging.
 
You can also reduce the chances of your dog digging in the garden by making sure your dog has access to fresh drinking water. The Drinkwell® Hydration Fountains encourage your pet to drink more because they are instinctively attracted to moving water. Activated carbon filters keep the water tasting fresh by removing bad tastes and odors and provide your pet with 128 oz.+ of fresh drinking water so you can rest assured your dog will stay hydrated

Keep My Dog Out of the Flower Beds

Unfortunately, dogs just don’t understand that plants are delicate. Creating boundaries to keep your pets away from your plants is as much for their protection as it is for the plants. Invisible Fence® Brand’s custom solutions can teach your pet to learn their boundaries and stay away from harmful plants and prizewinning petunias. 

How to Create a Dog-Friendly Yard

Providing your dog with a safe place to play is essential for keeping your pet out of certain areas. With Boundary Plus® Technology, your dog can safely explore your yard right up to your property’s edge, giving them plenty of space to play away from your flower beds.
