I had to remove a chain link fence from my Austin house 
before building the wooden privacy fence, as my dogs (labs 
& pointers) learned to climb over them the week I moved 
in. I will never own a chain link fence again. I have not 
had a dog climb "no climb" V or rectangle wire fencing. A 
couple of my dogs are diggers, so I run an electric "fido" 
fence on rebar sunk into the ground about 3 inches from 
the ground and pole fence bottom. It tends to keep the 
dogs in and the 'dillos out. The fido fence kits and rolls 
of wire are cheap enough and just require a perusal every 
couple months or before we take off on a trip.
