I have a small dog that keeps digging an hole and getting out of a chain linked fence. Of course I can put blocks in the way as the holes develop, but I thought of an idea.

Would a metal wiring system work that could clip to the bottom of the fence, slide down continuously as the dog digs with a with a row of straight wire points going perpendicular to the ground and another row that bends upward like a "J" to the inside of the fence.

That way if the dog starts digging, it will first be about 3 inches away from the fence, and as it digs the wire rig will drop to the surface requiring more digging. Then if it can squeeze under the J wire, it would have to negotiate with the perpendicular straight wire.

Shooting a pistol into the air won't stop him?

Not the small one.

^^ So the larger caliber works?

That's what the womenz say.

Chicken wire, tie it into the bottom of the fence and stake it down.

Or tie the little one to the big one and use the weapon.

I just did a flagstone edging butting up to the fence, so it was a decorative path and moved the digging out 18-24"from the fence.

On larger yards, I have driven rebar in every 6-12" (about an 8-12" length)-it amounts to a fence under the fence.
