SKU: SKU:

Is your dog digging under your fence? Our Dig Proofer system is a simple and extremely effective solution to prevent digging and possible escapes. This no-dig dog fence works with any fence type, whether you have wood, metal, chain link, PVC, brick, block, or something else.

The Dig Proofer System uses heavy-duty black vinyl-coated galvanized welded steel wire mesh to create a physical barrier on the ground leading up to your fence. The bottom of this no-dig dog fence is staked into the ground using heavy galvanized metal stakes. The top is held in place with staples, screws, zip ties, or your choice of fastener, depending on the fence material (fasteners are not included due to the wide variety of fencing materials, though they can be purchased separately).

We offer two different sizes of Dig Proofer to keep dogs from digging under the fence:

The Standard version of our no-dig dog fence features 24 inches tall welded wire mesh, which allows for 8-12 inches of coverage on the ground, and 8-12 inches of vertical coverage up the fence.

The XL version features 42 inches tall welded wire mesh so that you can install coverage up to 24-30 inches on the ground and still allow for 12 inches of coverage vertically up the fence.

The welded wire squares are 1.7" x 1.7" and the wire diameter is approximately 2.0-2.2mm, so your dog cannot scratch, chew, or fit through it, but grass can easily grow. The welded wire of our no-dig dog fence can also be trimmed to accommodate certain heights or work around obstructions in the fence line.

Is your dog going under AND over the fence? Consider adding a Dog Proofer Fence Extension System to prevent dogs from jumping or climbing over your existing fence. Read more about how you can combine Dog Proofer systems to create a safe outdoor space and keep your dog from digging under the fence.

Installation instructions for dig proofer system

Wrought Iron / Aluminum ⏤ UV-resistant zip ties (not included) are used to hold the wire mesh to your fence securely. One tie at least every 12 inches is recommended to keep your dog from digging under the fence.

Wood ⏤ Use heavy-duty staples or "romex" staples (not included) to hold fencing to wood surfaces. If pickets are small enough, zip ties can also be used.

Brick & Block ⏤ Our no-dig dog fence can also be installed on these surfaces. Specialty masonry fasteners will need to be used with washer heads (not included) to securely hold the mesh wire to the surface.

Chain Link ⏤ UV-resistant zip ties (not included) are used to hold the wire mesh to your fence securely. One tie at least every 12 inches is recommended. Alternatively, you can use Hog Rings, which are much stronger and more durable.

Elegant fix for a long time problem

We have a husky that just loves to dig. Seems like he hears a cricket in the neighbors yard and that is justification to dig a trench under the fence. We tried putting rocks along the fence, mats, and all kinds of stuff. Our vet office told us to take a look at this idea from dog proofer and we decided to give it a shot. We had it installed in a few hours. After a month the grass grew right through it and we dont even see it really. Brusco will still try to start a dig from time to time but has given up around the fence line.

Happy Husky, Owner Peace of Mind

I was thrilled when my contractor sent me pictures of the Houdini-Proof kit to prevent climbing and jumping over fences, sold by Dog-Proofer. It was a bit pricey, but the peace of mind is well worth it. Since my Husky, Lexi, also likes to dig, I went back to the site and discovered that they also had a kit to prevent digging. Bought that as well, and now Lexi can run and jump and play to her hearts content (I also have doggie door in the kitchen wall). The kit is very well designed and once installed, the fence and yard still look great...it is not Intrusive to the overall look of the yard and fence. I really love it and send pictures to all my dog owning friends! Now we can get her a buddy to play with and know that they are both safe and secure in their big back yard!

Dig Proofer saved us!!

I have a little cairn terrier who loves to dig and could fit thru my wrought iron fence. We live on 10 acres so it was dangerous! Now he can’t dig or get out of the yard-600 feet of fencing but we are sooo happy we got it!

Just what I needed!

This product was such a blessing. My chain link fence is old so there were many weak points where my dogs could just push right under the fence. This product is super easy to work with and now my fence is completely secured. Thank you!

Amazing Product!

I am military and recently moved with my 4 fur kids. I was anxious about not having time to reinforce our new backyard while deployed and stumbled across Dog-Proofer. I ordered and had it delivered to my new home so I could expedite installation upon my arrival. I was surprised to learn how easy the fence is to install...even by myself if needed!!!!! I’ll definitely recommend this product and continue to keep it my dog digging prevention arsenal!!!!! Thank you so much Dog Proofer!!! You stumped all four of my fur kids!

Best Money Ever Spent!

I had a rabbit problem in my yard. The dogs would chase the rabbits to the edge of the fence and dig trenches. I needed something to secure the dogs in my yard. This is the best product ever! No more rabbits, no more trenches and I don't worry about them getting out of the yard anymore. I have aggressive breed dogs and would worry that they would get out and get shot by someone who was scared of them. They are now secure in my yard and I have peace of mind. Worth every penny.
