A good old fence does the trick. A solid picket or a woven wire fence about six feet high keeps most folk at bay, and if you drive a few sturdy stakes out of the ground every yard or so the wolves won’t get in easily. Line the fence with a low brush or a few rows of thorny shrubs; they make a natural barrier and help keep the wind out. If you’re worried about storms, add a few wooden posts driven deeper and tie a few rope ties between them to reinforce the structure. And don’t forget a trusty watchdog or two—an alert dog can scare off both troublemakers and wolves before they get close.

Sounds good. Just keep an eye on the stakes every few months—if they shift or buckle you’ll lose that solid line. And for the watchdog, a little training and a good routine go a long way. When the dog’s on the beat and the fence’s tight, the troublemakers won’t even think about trying to get in.
