I did end up losing 5 or 6 plants but I guess that is not too bad considering how many I have and how bad of a Winter we had. I have been lucky with the dogs I have had over the years . I have always been able to train them to keep out of the gardens. The one I have now does have a spot in the back of one of the gardens he likes to lay down in on hot days behind a shrub but always enters from the side and leaves the plants in front alone.
