I have quite a large garden with a ranch styled fence around it, but would like some privacy. The fence is about 4 and a half feet tall, but I would just like to feel a little more secluded. As I say, the garden is quite large, so pots wouldn't work.

Privet hedges will grow to 12 or 15 feet
high and they are almost impossible to kill.
Leylandi is nice but it is much more expensive.

Some pine trees once established grow too high and fast and if not trimmed might need to be removed later. Leylandi or similar are very fast growing and are really only suitable for a very large garden. Neighbours can complain about the height if allowed to grow too high. Smaller evergreen hedges are better suited to the smaller garden, but they all take time to become established. Thuga Green giant is one of the fastest growing hedges.

no plant, bush or tree is hardly 2 dog urine, sorry.
dog urine will kill anything.
go 4 a sturdy fence, any bushes or trees will just mean more work, clipping etc.
saying all of that u could contact ur local council, they know what hedges/bushes thrive in ur area & sometimes sell hedges 2 the public.
all u can do about the dog pee, is try 2 encourage him 2 stick 2 one area & water down, daily.

i would reccomend green giant arborvitae they grow faster than leylands, can grow in almost any soil condition, and are hard to kill. if anything can withstand dog urine its this. they are quite expensive, a 5 gallon 4 ft costing 30 to 40 dollars. they are offered by monrovia growers. unlike leylands, they will stop growing at about 35 or 40 feet.

I don't know your zone so offering specifc advice on shrubs is a bit risky. Have you thought of using shrubs with thorns? Not likely a dog is going to continue to lift a leg on something that bites back. Especially there!
