Windbreaks by Windbreak Leisure or Jormax, are a favourite within the dog showing fraternity. This I think demonstrates how successful they are at containing dogs of all sizes. They are expensive but they do the job. They can sometimes be found second hand but they're snapped up very quickly. I don't use them, preferring to regard the awning as the dog space. This ensures that the dogs never toilet where they shouldn't, I think they might, in an open to the elements enclosure.

Are we discussing windbreaks or portable dog compounds? I may be tempting criticism here but in my opinion the latter do not look particularly pleasant on sites which, again in my opinion, are about sharing spaces and shared enjoyment. I can understand the need mind for a few dog owners but our dogs enjoyed freedom albeit somewhat contained by leads and tethers but always 'overseen' by us.

We have our now 25 year old Isabella Acryl steel framed windscreen.
It has been a brilliant bit of kit for its designed task, shield wind.
We have very rarely needed to deploy it at club site, the pitches on these are generally too compact and an amount of shielding comes from the close by vans. The pitches are so tightly boxed in that making things even worse seems to have no place.
It is in its element on more open CLs and rally sites.
Only two down sides, the steel tubing frame including top spreader rails make it very heavy, and its up front price is very expensive though amortised over its potentially very long life, this becomes tolerable.
Here is the current little changed version, it has just got the window now days:
