Yard Help

[utexas8 1468]

I’m sure there’s a thread for this but couldn’t find any on tapa.

 

Dogs keep digging. Do I just put dirt in the hole? They are also wearing down the grass by fence line. When I say wearing down, completely gone so trying to bring it back to life.

 

What should I do, where should I start.

 

That’s not the dog that’s digging btw lol.

With a quick Google, I found out how to stop it.

Don’t leave your dog outside all day with nothing to do.

Nothing you can do about their walking trails. You’re never going to get good grass coverage there. Embrace it. Put down granite or mulch.

As far as holes, I’ll make a lap around the yard with a shovel to pick up some poop, toss it in the hole, then cover with dirt. They won’t dig in that spot again. Of course, if they just dig for the sake of digging (rather than them catching a weird scent in that spot) they’re just going to do it somewhere else.

They have a doggy door. They are more than welcome to come inside whenever they want. Toys inside and outside.

Thank you. I will try that with the holes.

Was thinking about chicken wire but just stops the digging not the walking trails.

This worked best for me too... it took a while.. but I think they finally connected the fact that every spot in the yard contains they poop.  My dog that still like to eat tv remotes also has a nose for finding sprinkler pipes in the yard and would dig down to "let me know where they were located".  By some miracle she only would find them and not eat them. (shrub sprinkler risers and or drip lines are another story)

If your dog is digging out of boredom you are going to have to increase their exercise/training time to exhaust them more.  Even if you somehow stop them from digging they'll just do something else destructive.

Your dogs hate you and are trying to escape.

Your digging dog hates that little yappy dog and is trying to escape.
