A two meter high electrified fence could be enough... I would prefer the 2.5 meter one without the wires, but either should keep the dog in if he doesn't want to leave. Whenever we go to a garden our dogs are quite happy with a small fence (1.5 m?) and a hedge - but then they don't want to go anywhere.

However at the end of the day it will depend on one thing - does your wolfdog want to stay or want to go? If you are going to be building 400 meters of fence that means that he is going to have quite a lot of space, which is a good thing!

Aside from the fence, make sure the dog is happy at home, and most importantly make sure that your wolfdog is not too worried about being left alone - wolfdogs can do amazing things to get back to their masters if they feel that they must get back to them.
