Message: [QUOTE="altagirl, post: 622227, member: 40384"] The invisible fence is probably the nicest solution appearance-wise. We couldn't keep our dog from going under the deck or in my new flower garden and we just bought an electric fence kit from the pet store - they're made to protect gardens from rabbits on up (not too big of a shock). Cheap (maybe $40?) and sets up in about 10 minutes. We just leave it up and on for the first day there's something new we don't want him to touch - then turn it off, but leave the wire. Then ditch the wire after a few weeks and at that point he's just used to not going in the area anymore. Bonus is that now he's scared of wires (probably a good thing in general) and you can just wrap a bit of wire on things like sprinkler heads and other stuff you want him to quit eating/digging at. We had a few spots where he tried to dig under the fence and we just laid down some of those big flat paving bricks, which solved that pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
