Thank you for the help response! The living fence thing might work..in combination with chicken/ hog wire.
Yes, I will need a permit for all typ of fence😞. Hurricane concerns and "looks" from the county.

I need the keep the dog away from the goats...they already bent the flimsy hog fence towards my property...they are cute but curious and strong...they could destroy the current fence...dog would bark at them too...it's a herding dog...

Can the dog be confined to a smaller area?

True ..but it's too late now..,😞..I have to make it work somehow...fencing in smaller area is not feasible due to shed and outline of property.

SE Florida. 120'x95' parcel, residential area. Fence needed to keep dog in and privacy.
Partial chain link fence from neighbor is up.
Unfenced area: About 70% of backyard is overgrown with small to medium trees (see pictures), 30% back up to neighbors goat area with hog wire fence. I need to block goats out or my dog would go crazy. 6 feet wood panels is my plan. Any suggestions what to do with the "tree" area? Trees cover area of 2-4 feet wide along/and right on property line.  I don't want to cut them all down.
I would have 3 different Fence types: wood panels, and neighbors chain link fence on a 120feet line. (And different one for one side and a different one for the front) Not sure if I would get a permit for it...but I would try.
Any suggestions?

I've used both - handheld and electric. ( Both rentals) I would never!! Get a handheld again! A tall, muscular guy and myself used the " 2 people handheld" and we were struggling and exhausted. We finally watered the 1 foot deep holes overnight to get any further. No rocks but clay. I think it could be really dangerous if big rocks are in the ground for 2 reasons: Machine " spits" smaller rocks out-and you never know where they land...watch out! If the rock is too big to be spit out, it would be hard to hold on to the machine...and people could spinn around - like somebody else mentioned.
