My dog died and the ground is frozen and they said we risk hitting the power line if we rent the tools but I don’t want to cremate him?
I want him to have a proper burial but the ground is frozen and he’s such a large dog and we risk hitting the poweline if we rent the tools.. I don’t want to cremate him.

You can check into pet cemeteries (not sure if they still have them) or you can freeze the body and keep it till you can dig the hole. To be honest, if its a large dog (since you must bury the body at least 3-4 feed deep), you really should cremate the body. Much easier to bury ashes or put them in a urn.
Is there a pet cemetery in your part of the World?
IMO, an individual cremation is best and the ashes can be put in a casket or urn and be kept with you forever, if that is what you would like.
Both my last beloved dogs where individually cremated and are now both in my living room together. If I move house, they come with me.
I had to leave my last dog`s body at my old house because he was buried there under 6 feet of soil and had been for 11 years.
You don't have any CHOICE but to cremate him.
You do need to be sure it is legal to bury pets in your locations. if anybody is on well or septic around you - it is NOT LEGAL to do so.
The power company can come out and mark where the power lines run (just say you want to do some planting). In the USA you simply call 911. If you have so little yard there is no place to bury the dog w/o hitting the power line (which is very close to the surface, btw) you will need to cremate or have the pet buried at a nearby pet cemetery. I did choose to cremate all of my pets but I keep the ashes in decorative urns.
A question mark at the end of a sentence doesn't make it a question.
The city, village or municipal ordinances may not allow burial on your property. If they find out that is what you did, you can be fined and or jailed.
Then keep the dog frozen till the ground aint frozen and then bury it
Apparently you have two choices -
1 - Don't bury him now; or
2 - Don't bury him now.
If you hit or damage a power line you can and will be sued.
Use a coal shovel, you don't need power tools and to dig down fourteen inches to loosen him from off the ground. If the shovel alone doesn't work, have a pry bar on hand.
