The dogs do a great job chasing them away when they are out in the yard, but they often run through the garden, which does not help a lot.

You can buys rolls of plastic fencing at Lowe's for less then $25 per 50 foot roll.
Scatter Dog Hair from the Pet store. The store is glad to get rid of it a after a day's clipping. Tip the clipper a buck and you'll be happier. Also I use chicken wire on a raised bed garden/
We rabbit proofed our backyard by digging out some dirt under the fence and put 4x4 pressure treated wood right up to the top of the bottom of the fence. As for the gates, we put a sweep (like on the bottom of a door) on them and so they couldn't dig, a few patio blocks up high enough worked great. No more rabbits in the backyard.

A small mesh fence was the only method I've found so far.
