Is there a humane way to keep dogs from digging in the yard?
I have two 8-month old lab pups. I recently let them out of their cement floor pen so they could get exercise and play in my back yard. Now, it’s starting to look like a mine field with holes everywhere. Any reasonable suggestions on how to keep them from digging?
Most dogs are natural diggers – some breeds more than others. Punishing them for digging is useless and cruel. Without guidance, a bored and lonely dog is going to find something to do – usually something you don’t like. They love the smell of freshly turned earth – they don’t understand that you treasure your lawn and don’t want a broken ankle trying to cut it!
Make sure they’re getting plenty of exercise and training and play time with a human – at least a thirty minute run every day. Try making an area with a sandbox and encourage them to dig there. Or find another fun thing to distract them. Get a tetherball game and hang the ball at a low enough height that they can grab it. (NOTE: this can sometimes lead to a lot of barking and really piss off your neighbors!) For my terriers, I installed an overhead wire across my yard, attached a pulley and ran a second wire down toward the ground with a fuzzy dog toy at the end of it. They love zipping it back and forth and playing tug-of-war with it. You can also teach them to play flyball – a competitive dog sport where the dog is trained to launch his own ball from a box with a spring inside.

There are many devices they sell at the garden centers for discouraging deer and wild animals – it has a motion detector that turns on your sprinkler and chases them away. Of course, that won’t work if your dogs love the sprinkler! This is one of them:

And someone else suggested this to another person with the same problem – get doggie boots! I thought it was BRILLIANT! As long as they don’t chew them off…
