But...
Reluctantly, I don't think lavender is going to do it for you, since you say your main concern is keeping dogs off.
As I said above we have some experience of this in a couple of different situations. First one worked, and second one didn't.
- Completely filled the front garden of an Edwardian town house, which was protected from the road by a coping wall and a privet hedge. Costly due to very dense planting of quite mature plants. High maintenance: needed ingenious and acrobatic solutions to clip, weed and even to clean the bay windows. Frequent removal of fast-food clam-shell packages and other items, which I can't mention on a moderated forum.
Successful, looked fabulous after a year - very architectural. Contributed to sale of the house. - Planted a 1m by 8m 'hedge' to separate a path from some grass owned by the dog. 'twas only a 'back' garden so planted smaller plants at lower density.
Dog thought it was a new entertainment.
"Did you throw the ball in among those plants? No? Never mind I will run about in them like a mad thing anyway".
Constantly having to reset and replace plants.
Unsuccessful. Gappy, scrappy and uneven.
