First how tall [depends on the size of your dogs and jumping] a split-rail looks good and your can staple chicken wire to the interior .

Use pallets! In many areas they are free.

Get the county surveyor in if this will be a property line division. Also find out height restrictions. And get help with the post hole digging as it is back breaking work.

Many fencing contractors sell or give away cyclone fencing they are replacing. Got poles, caps and all.

We installed a No Dig fence. It wasn’t terribly expensive and easy to install ourselves. You can buy panels from the big box stores. It’s held up nicely to our dogs (and kids!) Good luck! https://everydayoldhouse.com/how-to-install-no-dig-grand-empire-fence/
