Default dog digging holes in garden

I have heard that if you have a digging breed, take the "if you can't beat
'em, join 'em" approach. Build a low box or get a childs sandbox and fill
it with sand, bury favorite toys or treats in it, and soon they'll take to
digging THERE instead of your garden. I happen to have a breed (rat
terrier) that, by instinct, is a digger as well. I just did a lot of
chasing him out of there and positive reinforcement when he listened, but my
dog, of course, is the smartest dog alive.

Great idea! get an animal with natural instincts to dig and then work
on training it to not!


How bout we put an e collar on your neck and every time you look at a
Sansevieria we give you a jolt!

or digging dogs, i suggest you do a web search and look up Koehler
method of dog training, find somebody nearby, and phone this person.
Koehler dealt with this in his first book on dog training, but it
would be better to have it explained to you. it is certainly curable!
