Canines are great companions that perform a variety of functions for their families. A dog that constantly barks is extremely annoying to anyone within hearing distance. There are fencing solutions for excessive barking and a fence installer is an invaluable source of assistance.
Why Dogs Bark
If your canine was a puppy when he or she came to your home, there’s no way to know if they’ll be a barker. Some dogs are overstimulated by what they see and hear. Others bark when they don’t have sufficient exercise or mental stimulation.
Solid Fencing
A fence that doesn’t allow the dog to see outside can be extremely effective for canines that are easily overstimulated. You’ll also need to consider if your dog is a digger or jumper. Dogs that bark will often try to find a way to escape a fence. The barrier must be high enough to prevent them jumping over, with adequate precautions to prevent them from digging under it. Some dogs are skilled climbers and a solid fence doesn’t allow them to gain purchase with their feet.
Vinyl and Wood
A vinyl or wood fence will act as a sound absorber to dampen the noise of barking. A chain link fence isn’t appropriate for the task. The dog can still see and hear things at which they feel obligated to bark. Vinyl and wood are both durable, but vinyl is 5 times more durable than wood and doesn’t rot or warp.
Other Benefits
Dogs that have a fence to run and play in are able to burn off excess energy. They still need regular walks – it helps them bond with their family.
No Dog Park
You may live in a community where there’s no dog park. A fenced in area where your dog can spend time outside provides an opportunity to run, play, and offers a convenient way for a canine to relieve themselves between walks if necessary. Any fenced in area should have adequate shade throughout the day.
Behavior Issues
If your dog hasn’t been sufficiently trained and socialized, it can be dangerous to take them to a dog park. Even walking them can be a chore if they display aggressive or other inappropriate behaviors. A fence can aid in alleviating all those potential problems.
