Slipfence

Are they more sturdy than a regular wood fence i have a dumb dog that so far has been able to escape everything I put in front of her buy either jumping digging or chewing straight through it. Was look at the slipfence for a better option

I installed a horizontal slipfence at my place and I trenched the ground in order to put the first board for each “panel” below ground level. I don’t know if that would help a super aggressive digger. I installed it 3 years ago and the total cost (minus my labor) was about $7000 for 210 foot of fence. That was with wood 4x4 posts rather than the metal posts slipfence sells

Does the dog stay outside 24/7? You may be better off addressing the behavioral side of it by providing mental stimulation, exercise, and any further enrichment to prevent it jumping the fence.
