Dogs digging.
Morning everyone, first thing, thank you to everyone on my page and your fantastic comments, also welcome to all my new clients, stand by for some videos and pic's of some very excited dogs lol.
Okay this morning I want to address a subject that I have been asked quite alot about. How do I stop my dog from digging, firstly let me just say all dogs dig from time to time, can you stop this, simple answer no. But you can limit the damage and redirect this behaviour. Dogs dig for a number of reasons, boredom, excitement, something smells nice to them.
The trick is to offer an alternative place, a space in your yard, that can be their digging area, small little sand pit, teach and encourage them this is the area to dig, also have more toy's and thing's your dog love's in the yard, have toy's that can have food in them, so they focus on retrieving the food and stimulating their mind.
Aslo plenty of exercise, so when left in the yard they are not so full of beans.
Once you have this all in place, you can get a deterrent, such as a citrus spray and cover the area that you know were your dog digs.
Hope this tip helps you out.
