Default Puppy proof fencing

Mrs W is having a puppy and I am wanting to keep it out of the
neighbours' gardens. The last dog used to go through the hedge and
shit on their grass and it doesn't make for good relations.


Whilst I would agree with pegging down the fence, a lot depends on the
nature of the dog.Â* Our current dog, now nearly 11, has never tried to
escape, yet I know of others who do so at any and every opportunity. You
may be lucky and have one which is content not to try.


I can't just wait and see, as much as I would like to be indoors
watching telly and now the job is half done too, and What a mess!

I must have been thinking topiary or something but it turns out you
can't just sculpt a hedge like a piece of marble. If you cut out bits
near the ground bits higher up just fall of on your head - who knew?!
And the end effect is like a giant herbivore has just munched bits
randomly. Ugh!
