Dog Digging

Dog digging. Why do they do it?

Usually it’s either boredom or his or her’s natural instincts.

Yeah, Fido’s dog digging damage is aggravating, but there are reasons why he or she does it. And yeah, it’s up to you as a resposnsible dog owner to figure out what that reason is.

One idea is to limit your do’s access to food scraps and bones which he may feel compelled to bury out of instinct. In their mind, burying food is how you keep it safe from predators.

Another idea to control dog digging is to actually give your dog an acceptable area in the yard where it is okay to dig to their heart’s content.
