Of course all here is just recommendations without guarantee but I did
do the following for a full size German Shepard.

I dug a very shallow trench maybe 2 to 3 inches deep about 10 inches
wide from the fence back into the yard.

Then I affixed hog wire fence to the bottom of the existing fence ran it
down to the ground and bent it back toward me to lay flat in the bottom
of the shallow trench I made.

Then I covered the trench with the sod I took out, kept it watered so it
would grow.

The dog tried to dig in three or four spots and gave up. Never tried to
dig again other than a hole right through the solid core door. (An
intruder got into the house and she was not going to have it.) Ripped
the pocket right off the guy with some underwear. Nice thing about it,
it was the pocket with his wallet. Very easy catch.

Any ideas to secure the bottom edges of the chain link fence? New-to-us
dog tunneled under the brand new fence and bolted. The mister thinks we
should have the fence guy come back and secure pipe at the bottom of the
fence from post to post, clipping the fence to the pipe as along the
top. I'm not convinced this will solve the tunneling problem, just slow
the progress. I'm thinking some kind of metal edging that can be sunk
12" or so below ground, with a few inches remaining above to cover any
gap between ground and fence. If we were to go with this metal edging
idea, what kind of metal, and from whom do I procure it?

Any other ideas? For the time being, dog goes on a 40' tether on one of
those screw in stakes, just to run around the $1200 "fenced in" yard.
Grr...
