Does Your Dog Dig?
Dogs dig for all sorts of reasons. Some breeds are more likely to dig than others. Sometimes they dig out of boredom, other times they’re just following the wolf instinct from way back when. No matter what the reason is, it can be a real pain. There are a few, simple things that you can try to alleviate the problem.
1. Sprinkle cayenne pepper into the holes. When your pup returns for more digging fun, he’ll hate the sensation.
2. Some dogs don’t like to get their feet dirty with poop. Drop some of their droppings in the hole, cover it and add some more on top. That part of the yard will soon become free of holes again.
3. If you find your pet digging out of boredom, try to provide another way to stimulate his mind. I find that a peanut butter stuffed Kong toy works wonders.
4. This should go without saying, but…if all else fails, limit his access to the yard.
