I'm fighting a losing battle against dogs urinating on my box hedging, at
the front of my garden, and making the plants die back.

The box hedging down the path is wonderful and indicates how nice the
front
one would have been.

I was going to take the front ones up and replace them with Lonicera
Nitida
Baggsen's Gold.

Would this fair better against the dogs?

I don't know about the dogs but i have found it difficult to keep Lonicera
Nitida nice and compact and covered with leaves. the moment I turn my back it
becomes afflicted with twiggy bits that only have leaves on the end. I don't
know what variety mine is bit it has variegated yellow and green leaves. ISTR
that gardeners worl program tried it as edging in a formal garden and then
ripped it out for the same reason

My local poundshop has ultrasonic pest scarers. Not sure if they work on
dogs. Didn't read the instructions.
