Are you saying that you rape your kids, Rickola? That hardly qualifies you
to be one to be giving advice except to your fellow Klan members.

We are talking about a dumb animal here not your personal problems with your
own evil spawn.

No matter what you do, the dog is still going to act out like a dog.

The only way to really solve the problem is to get rid of the dimwitted
fleabag.

hi everyone sorry i didnt introduce myself earlier im sockiescat and i
live on a farm in ontario canada.

i have a problem that hopefully someone might be able to help me with.
we redid a couple of flowerbeds this year with new shrubs and some
perennials.
the problem that we are now having is my sons dog (which we ended up
with lol) is now digging up those flowerbeds. its really getting to me
because she is a medium size dog and digs huge holes to lay in.
we have tried just about everything thinkable to try and stop her but
she just wont listen.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what we might be able to try to
stop the flowerbed digging dog. any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks for any info you can give us. take care,
sockiescat

I just read some of the other answers and figured you probably gave up
so I changed the header and resent this. It's amasing how many people
rape their kids and turn the little monsters they create loose on
society isn't it? When they pile on like this it does make it easy to
get them all in your kill file at once. I notice 3 are posting from
the same computer -LOL

I'm sure you'll get lots of "shoot it" type answers from the truely
ignorant and disturbed wacko's on the group, but the real answer is
training. It sounds like the dog is making itself a nice shady cool
day bed where she can watch the "action" Is there another spot you
could encourage her to use? That is the positive side. Praise the
digging in the "right" spot and scold in the wrong spot. AS for the
other negative reinforcement, you may have good luck with a motion
activated water sprikler/sprayer. When she comes to dig she will set
it off and get soaked, and the garden will get a brief sprinkle. Most
dogs hate being sprayed with water. One of mine does, but the other
loves it and will deliberately set off the sprinkler we have out front
to discourage deer when she gets the chance.
