Have you considered picket fence? I don't know that it will work on a puppy that big, but would be attractive and comes in 3 foot height.

Today I have 9 dogs in my yard. 6 is normal, 3 visiting dogs today.
Chloe is right some type of fence. There are many styles to choose from.
I takes patience and about 2 weeks, but you can train him not to go in there. Use a discipline can or a squirt bottle until he gets the idea. Look on line on the various techniques. I have to do it with each new fur baby. I lay a rope or hose down around where I don't want them to cross. Each time they do I rattle the h... out if the can or squirt them . They get the idea, then remove the rope and repeat. It works! Cheaper than a fence
Hello-Do you have an invisible fence in use -by any chance?
We accomplished the exact opposite of what you are hoping to do.
We had problems with dog urine devastating the green grassy turf. When the human leash training and otc urine ph supplement and other recommendations failed-We resorted to a remote training collar to train our 70# dogs over the last 17+ years to pee in the mulched bed. This collar is exactly the same principle as our existing invisible fence, but you can resort to a tone only button initiation to keep the dog away from an area you’re trying to protect. There are two different zap modes of nick and shock that you initiate and regulate by a intensity dial. Its the same type of collars hunting dogs use.
I do realize these Remote training collars are not for all people but if you using invisible type fence already- it’s likely a great option. My dogs were trained to pee and in mulched area and our grass has been great the last 17years. After training they don't need to wear the collar. So in your case you could use the training colar to deter a location or intrusion.
