I saw a dog friendly garden on TV once. They'd sectioned a piece of with a
fence specially for the dog.

That's what I had to do in my garden - a little picket fence with
double wires to protect all my tender plants. There's lots of plants
that 'bounce' back after the visit of a dog; ajuga, ground ivy,
geraniums, heucheras ... with taller plants the dogs go around them,
like crocosmia, japenese anemones, lavenders, rosemaries,
hydrangeas ... I've found my youngest dog found of the hawthorns would
you beleive and the roses! She scratches her back on them occasionally
and it now looks as if I've got a sheep in the garden for all the hair
dangling from the plants. Also she's eaten the zebrinus entirely now.
So that's the plant to not have obviously. Cats are found of it too!
Basically all wooded stems are prone to breaking - that's the one the
dogs will damage. Soft stems plants usually survive, unless your mutt
decide to have its afternoon nap on it!

HMMM - I have two rottweilers so I think taller plants are the way
forward :-) thank you
