Dog fence

Dovergirl67 on Jun 15, 2015you need to sprinkle fresh hot red pepper powder around the base of your plants. you have to do so for 3-4 weeks. it will not hurt your plants, remember to sprinkle it around after you water, as it will "dissipate" if you water after placing around the area you want to save. it will only take 1-2 times of the dog walking in the area or peeing around it to stop the dog or any cat or rabbit/squirrel from messing with the area again. it is organic and will not hurt the animal, only cause it to have temporary "red chilli overload", like a human biting into a red chilli. try this 1st b4 you go out and have to spend too much money on other preventatives...you'll need bulk size powder, and remember to wear gloves and glasses, then don't forget not to touch your face!Helpful Reply

Vicki Menton on Jun 15, 2015Have you talked to the owner of the animal? I would not put the red pepper out and punish the dog when obviously the owner is the one that needs training.Helpful Reply

Denise on Jun 16, 2015I went to Home Depot and picked up wire fencing that comes in white, green or brown. It comes folded up and you open it up like accordion. You can see through it and it's 3' high. I surrounded all of my plants in my yard because my German Shepherd was VERY fond of digging. It's not expensive at all and it looks really nice too.Helpful Reply
