[permaculture] Pets in Design

Okay folks, here is a design problem, and no, as far as I can see it is not
the solution. I have a client that has about a 150 by 90 foot suburban lot,
and she wants a full landscape design for it, not necessarily totally
permaculture oriented. As I start the design I began to think of various
patterns and elements and functions I can use on her site.

Problem is, she has two huge dogs that tear up the yard right now. They are
confined to the backyard, but they like to run around and poop and dig up
holes, as dogs are want to do. She wants a raised bed vegetable garden back
there, and they have a firepit as well. So my question is, have you dealt
with dogs in your designs and if so, have you come up with any brilliant
ideas? I have a few already that may work well, but I want to hear any and
all input. Thank you.

Andrew
