New to the forum. Need some advice, puhleasee!

[two elephants]

Hello, I have two English Mastiffs. 9 month old sisters. We love, love them, but wow! They are like baby elephants and have destroyed my beautiful backyard. I need to build a dog run FAST! The run would run along the sides and back of my yard in a "u" shape. The outsides of the "u" already have fencing. I am looking for recommendations/advise on fence ideas. It is a large area and I know fence materials can get pricey. My dogs are very obedient. They do not jump, but have been digging. I think they are chasing a pesky gopher I would love feedback and possibly pics if you'd like to share.
Thank you

We use underground fence.. It is very economical and puts no barrier in the yard. It works with the collars that beep initially when they get close and pulse when they cross. I have a 7 month old bullmastiff and an APBT, neither have ever crossed. They hear the beep and turn tail. I am not sure what starting older dogs is like or how difficult it would be, but it's a thought.

i have two english mastiff puppies as well..5 month old and 6 month old. for small enclosures, i recommend blocks on the ground. for a large area, i recommend welded wire fencing. the cant chew through it like mesh wire.
