How to protect the chipmonks in back yard?

I live in the woods. I have a large back yard that has fencing, protecting it from rabbits.

I have several small watergardens, bushes, flowers, trees. I also have a small warrior dog. She killed a squirrel in a few seconds last year. Now she's chasing a chipmunk. Today the chipmunk almost lost.

I'm thinking of buying some PVC pipe segments and putting them around the yard, for the chipmunks to hide from the dog in, in case they can't make it to their holes.

Any better ideas?

I've thought of using an anti-bark collar to teach her not to chase these things, but its just in her genes. I just want to put out a couple "safe houses" for the chipmunks.

They could at least hide in them until the dog was gone.

Hmmmm.....I just remembered that I have some of that black drainage tile. That would work.

Any other suggestions?
