Dog Fencing
Safe, Secure Dog Fencing for Athens, GA Homes and Backyards
At Blanchard Fence, we understand that your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. That’s why we offer dependable, dog-friendly fencing solutions designed to keep your canine companion safe, happy, and contained. Based in Athens, GA, we serve homeowners across Watkinsville, Monroe, Madison, Statham, Elberton, and nearby towns with custom dog fencing that fits your yard and your dog’s behavior.
Whether you have an energetic jumper, a curious digger, or a relaxed senior dog, we build fences that keep your four-legged friend where they belong—home.
Built for Dogs, Designed for You
Not all fences are created equal when it comes to dogs. What works for a flower bed won’t necessarily keep a determined Labrador or clever beagle safely inside. We work closely with homeowners to choose materials and designs that meet your specific needs, based on your dog’s breed, temperament, and activity level.
At Blanchard Fence, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every dog is different, and we’ll help you choose the best fence height, structure, and layout to suit your pet and your property.
Some things we consider when designing your dog fence:
- Your dog’s breed, size, and jumping ability
- Digging habits or escape tendencies
- Whether your dog is reactive or shy
- Visibility needs for both pet and owner
- Yard layout and traffic proximity
- Your preference for style and privacy
Popular Dog Fencing Options
We offer several effective fencing options that work well for dogs of all sizes and personalities:
- Chain Link Fencing: A popular choice for durability and visibility, chain link keeps your dog secure while letting them see what’s going on outside the yard. We can install taller heights for jumpers and add bottom rail protection for diggers.
- Vinyl Fencing: For privacy and a polished look, vinyl fencing offers smooth surfaces and no gaps—ideal for preventing distraction or reactive behavior. Great for smaller dogs or homes close to foot traffic.
- Wood Fencing: A great option for visual and sound barriers, wood fences (especially solid-panel or board-on-board) help reduce barking triggers from outside sights. It also works well for larger dogs needing a sturdy enclosure.
- Cedar Fencing: For a natural look with built-in insect resistance, cedar is a top choice. We build strong, smooth fences that are gentle on paws and built to last.
- Steel or Aluminum Fencing: For elegant yet strong enclosures, we offer metal fences with narrow spacing to prevent squeezing through. These are ideal for decorative yards or dogs that don’t require visual isolation.
Each material has pros and cons depending on your layout, landscaping, and how your dog interacts with the world. We’ll walk you through every option so you can make the best decision for your household.
Features for Added Security
In addition to selecting the right material, we incorporate smart design elements that keep dogs safely enclosed. These include:
- Self-closing gates with pet-safe latches
- Dig guards or buried wire mesh to prevent tunneling
- Angled top sections for climbing prevention
- Double gates for homes with multiple dogs or high-traffic yards
- Reinforced posts for added strength with larger breeds
We tailor every fence to your dog’s behavior—not just their size. Even small dogs can be expert escape artists, and we take those tendencies seriously when planning your fence.
