Daisy the digger!!

[tikeyas_mom]

As some of you know, right now we are living with my parents. Five dogs in one house!. And a cat too . Well my mom takes GREAT pride in her backyard, keeping it poop free, beautiful green grass, ponds, and flowers everywhere.
Well lately Daisy has been digging in the yard!!. Not just little holes either, they are pretty big ones.. I keep filling them up, but she just re-digs in the same spot or starts a new hole...
I dont know what to do. My mom is getting really annoyed because Daisy is ripping up her grass!. I heard of putting chicken wire in the bottom of the hole, and then when the dog digs it up it isn't pleasant on their feet...

Any other ideas to stop her bad digging habbits?!?!?

Maybe this sounds weird but put the dog's poop in the hole and cover it up. Next time Daisy digs in that spot she will get a surprise and digging may not seem so fun anymore. I've read that putting pine cones in the hole works too.

The poop in the hole worked for Roxey!

Is Daisy spayed? Suddenly digging holes all over might be hormones telling her to dig a den ready for pups.

I remember when our Mist was young, still growing, and she'd dig holes and put my dads plant pots in them. When I read about another dog doing exactly the same thing, it turned out the plant pots were subtitues for pups and that the bitch might even be producing milk to feed her plant pots with. Of course, such dogs tend to turn out to be great mothers...as our Mist did....it was still funny though...plant pots as pups...

Canis-Lupess: Yes, Daisy is already spayed

Are the holes, deep or wide? Chances are a dog digging wide holes is trying to find a nice cool spot to lay down on a hot day. And I don't know about your area but its HOT and HUMID here! I myself might consider digging a hole to get relief
