Why not an underground electronic fence????? They work, and the dog learns quickly where his boundaries are. There is no wire fence to dig under OR jump over, no chain on your dog, and his neighborhood friends can come in to play whenever they want. Also, whoever mows the grass in your family will appreciate not having a fence to trim around!

Most electronic fences can easily enclose an area of about 1/2 to one acre (or more!), and should give your dog plenty of room to run and play to his heart's content!
