How do I keep my dogs out of the flower beds?

I recently got flower beds in my backyard, before my backyard was just grass and they were free to roam wherever they wanted. Now they walk all in the flower beds. Sometimes they even poop and pee in them. How do i get them to stop doing this?

1. its called a fence! Get a taller fence that they cant get over or an invisible fence.
2. buy one of these ! http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_1050064_1050064
3. Go to the feed store and see if they have deer repellent. Spread it around your gardens, and it will help. www.deerout.com.....to order www.seefido.com for more tips
4. Put a fence or s/thing around it. Also go out there with the dogs for a few days (like when they are out there) and scold them (tell them no) when they get in the perimeter of the beds.
5. Where I come from they call this three pika. It is a three that has these v-shaped thorns on the branches I just cut some branches of and but between my flowers they poke the dogs and after that they never touch my flowers again.
6. Can you put decorative fencing around the flower bed? This gives the concept of separation and might help. You might need to make it fairly high if the dogs are resistent. Tractor Supply and I think also Home Depot and Lowe's carries some 3' or 4' plastic barrier mesh that's a good fencing to put around plants if lower decorative fencing doesn't work. AND... Get the cheapest hot pepper sauce you can find at the grocery and spray the plants with it. If the dogs nibble any plants, they will NOT like it and will leave the flower bed alone. It doesn't hurt the flowers and it gets rid of the dogs when they nibble plants.
7. barbed wire
8. you can either use an invisible fence or you can use a special spray they have it at walgreens and stuff. Good Luck!!!
9. they need to be trained or a fence. If you don't like teh site of a fence then an underground fence
