Choosing a Dog Fence or Enclosure Dogs can escape any backyard that isn’t fenced in. Even if they’re typically very well behaved, it’s best to have a fenced-off area where they can run and play. Larger dog enclosures are a great way to have an area set aside for the dog to run and play, without having to fence off the entire yard. This can be especially beneficial for larger yards where a smaller fence might suffice for the remaining area, but the dog’s enclosure needs more robust fencing. If a dog is the main reason for adding a fence, there are plenty of fencing options available. Commonly, a dog fence is made from a chain-link fence but can be made from any other material and in any style. The main concern is to ensure the panels are close enough together the dog can’t get out.
