i strongly suspect doggy boredom, so try taking care of that
first. if the plant pots are not very accessable to the child,
you might try a solar powered electric fence around them. my
son knew all about electric fences at 2, so if you can explain
not touching the wires, your child should be ok.
oh, you could possibly use an invisble fence to keep the dogs
out too... i just use electric fence for my dogs because thier
play area is fed off my pasture fencing.

Hi lee,

thank you for the suggestion. my skin kid is now 1.5 yrs old and my fur kids are now 4 yrs old, so i guess the mothballs are out. where did u get ur fence? how much did it cost to get it installed?

thanks again,
arman.
