    Sometimes dogs dig out of boredom, and some just do it cause they can. Unfortunately i have to input for you as to correct the problem. My dog digs too, but only out of boredom, if i keep him busy he dosent dig. Lots of toys, walks, playtime should help. I have to say that she must look completely adorable with dirt smaeed all over her face, giving you the most angelic look that she can!
    Maggie,

    Sorry Tim,

    You are getting NO ADVICE but lots of comraderie...

    Bob is a digger too. He digs cause he thinks he hears somethings or smells something. Being part Terrier, I think that is just his nature. I can't stop him - and he gets plenty of exercise.

    How old is Daisy? I hear that dogs will sometimes dig less as they mature. That's what I am hoping for!!!

    P.S. I love your siggy with the two small children. Are they yours?

    Put some of her poop in the holes=x Yes it sounds gross but often will stop the digging, and dont leave her out unsupervised for a time so you can really correct her when she starts to try. After she stops the digging on a regular basis, fill them in with dirt over the poop. Worked for mine.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    Sounds like boredom. Try filling a tin can with rocks or beads and shake it or throw it near her (not AT her) to startle her whenever she starts to dig.

    I agree with everyone here. I have two huskies and my back yard looks like a mine field but I've just got used to it now.
