Stop Dogs Digging

by Craig Clemins

Digging problems are common amongst thousands of dogs worldwide. If you have a dog that digs you are definitely not alone. Digging can be one of the most frustrating behaviour problems of all.

Dogs were digging long before humans decided they would make great pets, this habit is deeply entrenched in there blood making it very difficult to break. The dog's that are most known for their digging are breeds originating in Nordic countries such as Scandinavia and Siberia.

Some of the main reasons dogs dig include; boredom, lack of physical exercise, anxiety through separation, and desire to escape the yard.

Given that we know the most common causes for digging, we can come up with some solutions that are likely to put an end to your dogs digging. If your dog is digging because he's not getting a lot of exercise you might be able to stop the digging totally taking your dog for a walk daily for 20 minutes or so. If boredom is the problem, buying some toys for your dog might help solve the problem. A dog that is constantly trying to escape may need to be tied up or kept inside.

If your dog simple likes to dig for the sake of digging, consider some of the following tips to help the situation:

Don't allow your dog in the yard alone. You'll be able to eliminate digging immediately by doing this.

Choose strong plants for your garden. Plants such as roses have their own protective mechanisms so they make fantastic plants in gardens where dogs like to dig.

Consider using a deterrent. Sprays and powders come specifically designed to stop this problem.

Give you dog a big fright by booby trapping the yard. Bury inflated balloons in your dog's favourite digging spot - the bang may be enough to stop the digging for good!

Another thing that you can do is allocate an area of turf for your dog to dig in. That way he can still get the pleasure of digging but not bother you - it could be a win - win situation.

Another way to channel your dogs digging into one area is by setting up a dig-box. This works best for small dogs but has worked well for large dogs as well.

For dogs that just love to dig, try to give them some outlet for their digging. The best outcome is to find a win - win solution to the problem.
