Default replacing box hedge

I'm fighting a losing battle against dogs urinating on my box hedging, at
the front of my garden, and making the plants die back.

The box hedging down the path is wonderful and indicates how nice the
front one would have been.

I was going to take the front ones up and replace them with Lonicera
Nitida Baggsen's Gold.

Would this fair better against the dogs?

TIA


Had you thought of putting an electronic cat alarm there? It would have to
be placed away from public prying eyes, but if they keep the damn vermin
cats out of our garden :-) it might work with the dogs

'Could' you put one where not seen?

Worth a try

Yeah I thought about this and it would work when the hedge was low. Thing is
it wouldn't work when the hedge is about 4 feet high unless the Ultrasonic
is on the other side of the hedge in which case it would be very visible and
would be stolen.
