Paul, generally, some breeds of dogs are more prone to digging than others - certain terriers and Northern breed dogs come to mind. If it is a breed thing, it will be hard to cure, so here is what you can do. Give your dog an area to dig in, encourage her to dig there, and only there. You could make a sand pit (like the one for kids), bury some treats in there, and encourage your dog to dig there. She'll likely do it because there is an added bonus of treats in that area. Redirect her to the correct area if she attempts to dig elsewhere. BTW, is it possible that there is some sort of critter hiding in/under these flower pots. Sometimes they harbor frogs and such, which will make the pots that much more interesting to the dog. Suja |

Try burying a baloon (or several baloons) in the dig zone. One good pop
should cure the problem. Also, check out some of the pet or dog related newsgroups.

Bury the dog's feces where she is digging. Works like a charm, but it won't stop her from finding a new place to dig.

We had a dog that liked to dig. He help us us leveled the area where he
liked to dig. We bought a enough chicken wire to cover the area where he like to dig, spiked it in place and covered it with a little dirt. We added some flowering plants and grass, and placed mulched around the plants. The dog did not dig in the yard again. I have often wonder what the new owners thought when they tried to garden in that area. paul olive wrote: plesae help, out little pup(4-5 months rescue so not sute exactly) id digging up flower pots possitionened at roughly ground level in long line, there are 2 sets of boxes, one next to the house and 1at the end of the garden, she alwasys attcaks mthe sam epots in the lines, any one had this problem before. plesae e-mail, plesae, my mum really loves the plants in the pots near the house, and the other line of pots is right next to a grave yard for our families dead pets, so a dog bouncing about digging is very distressing. -- From: Raleigh, North Carolina |

Consult dog-training sites. Nearly all bad habits can be modified with training. Our local NPR station carries a "Calling All Pets" program which has much good advice. See: http://www.wpr.org/pets/ |
