I love climbing plants, such as Clematis, Honeysuckle etc., but my 2 year
old Jack Russell likes chewing the barks and they die. Actually she does it
to everything apart from plants I have in containers, so is it OK to plant
climbers in containers ?

You can grow climbers in pots, but if there is no hard landscaping, you
would do better to cut the bottom off the pot so the plant can get to the
soil underneath.

No dogs can be trained. When I was in Camp Hill Prison a House Burglar told
me he would never break into a house if there was a dog there. "Why
frightened of dogs?" 'No, the damn things bark and can wake the owner'

What about putting some chicken wire around the base of the plant -
it stops rabbits from doing the same thing to saplings. Fasten it to the
fence either side of the main stem. Would stop your dog until you can
train him.

And/or painting the stems with chilli sauce - the stuff made of
mashed up chillis.

Cut the top and bottom off 2 litre pop bottles then cut up the length, they
will close down like plant sleeves and will protect the stems from
chewing/strimmer damage etc, and at the price (Free) just cant be bettered.
