Won't the dog either dig under or jump over that?

I need to fence a 70m boundary, mainly to stop a dog from straying but also
as a security deterrent. The land is reasonably flat for about 80% of the
distance and then slopes down at about 20 degrees. The fence will run
through trees so won't be visible. I haven't erected a fence before so I'd
appreciate some guidance.
My plan is to use 6ft galvanized stakes, with 2ft in postcrete and 4ft
above ground, and with suitable braces at the ends and changes of
direction or slope. The fencing will be 4ft (1220) galvanized welded mesh,
supported by 3 or 4 lengths of HT wire woven through the mesh and
tensioned between the stakes.

Is this sensible? Is there a better (i.e. easier, cheaper, or more
effective) way of doing it?
