How to keep dogs off my container plants??
sigh. it is a training thing. put a leash on them. walk them up to the plant,
point to it, yell no and haul them away. do this about 10 times and they should start putting the brakes on as you start to haul them up to the pots. if this doesnt work then put a bit of bitter apple in a sprayer, or, get the bitter apple spray and hit them with that. soon they form a negative link with approaching the pots. dont put fertilizer on top of the dirt. also mulch the pots and spray with bitter apple. I had a dog got into and mostly ate bone meal. blood meal would also attract them. OTOH, I dont leave my dogs out alone in our very fenced in and private yard because I dont want them thinking up mischief or being stolen.
