Dogs And Their Digging Hobby
There is hardly a dog who doesn’t like to dig. Most dogs do it outdoors, but we’ve come across some that like nothing better than digging their way through a down comforter or sofa cushion. The urge to dig is just a dog being a dog, but destructiveness is something that has to be dealt with quickly and in no uncertain terms.
Outdoor digging is harmless it is in the middle of the lawn of in your newly planted flowerbed. When this is the case, you’ll be glad that the no command was one of the first lessons you taught your dog. The dog that minds extremely well may be content to leave it as that. However, a lot of other dogs may simply move on to another part of the flowerbed or lawn and start digging again.
Giving your dog his own “sandbox” could be the answer. To get the dog digging in his own place the first time, bury a bone or special treat there. You may even have to help him find the buried treasure a time or two, but most dogs get the idea in a hurry and the problem may be solved.
However, some dogs are a little more determined than that. The only cure for the problem in this case may be keeping a watchful eye on the dog when you are together and when you can’t be watching, keeping the dog away from the area you do not want excavated.
