Digging holes?

[Samantha Puppy]

Samantha used to, especially before her first birthday, but we'd monitor her whenever she went outside and if she started to dig, we'd open the door and say "NO!" very sternly. It only took us a few weeks to completely break her of it.

When Daisy was around a year old, we decided to put in new sod grass in the backyard. Needless to say, it looks just like it did *before* we put in the new grass. She dug, and dug, and DUG up until a few months ago when she started to "mature". I've never caught her digging since then, but I suppose our backyard would say otherwise. I've never seen or caught Molly digging, but I'm sure she was Daisy's "partner in crime" once or twice.

This is our backyard now. If you look closely, you can see the holes. Keep in mind, this used to be a lushious green!


*sigh* DOGS!!

The same thing happened at our old house too, Julie!!!

Snowy is working on getting to China by the end of 2004.....

The holes she digs aren't that big and she gets bored with them easily.

ROTFL! I mean, Logan, I always believed you..but to actually SEE the little criminals in action..Well..I know you and Scott always wanted to go "Down Under" huh? Free airfaire..drop through anytime!
Pam...I still have that picture you sent of Bella and the Blue Bowl...look at her facial expression...still cracks me up!!!!
Gotta say, Cody never dug one single hole, but Mz. Klo is the mistress of mole hunting and finding cool spots! Yep, twisted many an ankle this year and loved to be greeted by a dirty nose above a HUGE self gratiified smile! ("Logie..you been diggin?" "Not me! Not me!") Must be the invisible Other dog..!
I'm not thrilled, but I can never get too angry with her..I more or less do..

Sierra dug when we first got her, but grew out of it!!

LMAO. This thread is funny. Roxy tunnels like your huskies, Glacier. Drives me crazy!!! I can't actually break her, but I consistantly fill her holes with poop. Since there isn't enough poop to go around to all her tunnels, I just fill the ones along the fence line because I don't want her to dig out. I've given up on the ones in the middle of the yard. She does stay away from the holes with poop in them. Wouldn't want to get her pretty little paws smelly. She knows DARN WELL that digging is bad. She gets this pathetic guilty look, and sure enough, everytime, I will find a new hole. I must say, giving her a KONG with something new in it everyday has made a HUGE difference though.

We've been in this house for about 3 weeks and our newly landscaped backyard is SHOT. We put a divider down the middle of the yard, so the dogs only have half now. That way, hopefully, we can repair one side of the yard and have pretty green grass.
