dogscaping
 n.— «Garden designers sometimes use the term “dogscaping” to describe the landscaping strategies they employ to make gardens that are beautiful to look at and be in, and tough enough to survive running and digging dogs. A good design resolves natural conflicts: the garden is a great place to relax and enjoy nature, but people and dogs sometimes do that in very different ways.» —“Fido-friendly yard” by Marty Ross Kansas City Star (Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri) June 20, 2007.
