With a largish area like that it wouldn't require a massive effort to put a chicken mesh fence around it to keep dogs off. Doesn't need to be anything elaborate just a few canes threaded through the mesh and bunged into the soil.

Watch what you are doing with cardboard paths though as they can get quite slippy. Tread lightly and you should be OK though. I was going to mention a keyhole garden but think they are quite a bit of work to set up. A raised one would keep the mutts off!

I've tried the chicken wire fences before but, if the dogs can't jump over summat, they put their noses under and burrow beneath! I've had to resort of baby/dog pen fencing that I scrounge on Freecycle.
I've also done the Bambi on Ice impersonation on slippy cardboard. Luckily, nobody was watching. Thanks for reminding me - I'll put grass cuttings/leaves/twigs on top.
