My two dogs have taken a likeing to digging holes. They have toys. They have bones to chew on, but instead they want to dig holes. We have so many holes in the back yard, if you want a game of golf, just come to my house.... My hubby and I have tried everything. We have tried putting balloons in the holes and filling them with sand. Pepper on the holes don't work. Giving them new toys. We have tried disciplining them but that doesn't work. The holes are that deep, I'm surpised they don't get lost then they fall in one. Any help would be appreciated! Jody IP: Logged |

I have two Huskies and I went through the same thing. Dogs dig for different reasons...boredom, lack of exercise, lack of attention, and maybe just because it is in their blood depending on the breed of your dogs. One of the best ways to cure digging is to deposit dog poo in the holes and lightly cover it and also put it around the holes where they dig the most. It really works. I got this advice from several people and didn't believe it. Need anymore help let me know. Good luck. IP: Logged |

Ok we filled the holes with a little of their own dog poop and they haven't gone near it. It's only been two days since we have done it, so hopefully this works. If not I'll be berry them in their own holes.....  Jody IP: Logged |

I am sorry to hear they have dug more holes. It is so hard to get them to quit digging. I am still dealing with it. Have you tried exercising them? For instance taking them for long walks or running them? I've noticed that the more exercise I give my Huskies, the less they get into things. How about chew bones? Like I said, I am still having problems, it has been so hot during the summer in Nevada (my husband is stationed here in the military!) that it has been unbearable to go outside to play with them and give them their exercise. In turn, they have been tearing up bushes and digging holes. I know how you are feeling! IP: Logged |

They both get walked for an hour every morning from 6am-7am, this includes weekends. They have thousands of toys out the back to chew on. As for Bones they lick them for 10 minutes then go bury it in the back yard somewhere and thus digging another hole...... I'll just have to keep burying their dog poo in it as this seems to work.....Even if the whole back yard is buried with dog poo, then surely they wont dig it up anymore....Hence the backyard will look aboslutely green with my new fertilization.......
