Digging

  1. You can take the dogs (Poop) place it in the holes they are digging. Cover up. Repeat daily. The dogs will eventually give up on your flower beds. Because every place they dig smell like _ _ _ _.  They will Probably start digging in your lawn.
  2. You can buy a very large container of cayenne pepper sprinkle it very heavily over the flower beds, usually one sniff and they will not go back and dig. If you sprinkle to lightly and they might think it’s a Mexican dinner so put a lot down.
  3. Make them a digging pit, some place it’s OK (safe) for them to dig. Some rail-road ties in a square shape filled with sand. Bury a couple of nice bones in there, praise them for digging them up. Keep this up for a couple of week and you’ll find they will go there first looking for a surprise. All the other holes they are digging are filled either with (poop) or the cayenne pepper, the only safe place is the digging pit.
  4. Some suggest using chicken wire to help, but will make it harder for you to plant, weed, and maintain your garden, so will burying the poop in the garden. The wire may cut the dogs pads and you will end up with a vet bill if they get infected.
  5. Don’t leave the dogs outside unattended, when you leave them outside they learn from the environment, chasing squirrels, birds, digging holes, barking, digging under the fence and escaping.  A lot of bad habits not the good household skills you want.
  6. Like house training supervision, supervision, supervision, is your best bet.
