doggie yard

Create a perimeter path. Just as some dogs do better when they have an unobstructed view, some dogs want to patrol right along the yard’s perimeter. Lindsay suggests not putting plants in that area if you have a perimeter dog, and you might even create a path so the dog’s pacing doesn’t kick up too much mud or dust. When there are other dogs in neighboring yards drawing your dog to the fence, this can be especially helpful.
