Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So, my female husky is just now beginning to obsess with digging... I don't know what to do. I have never had a dog with a digging problem. I caught my male husky in the act and he learned fast that he doesn't do that again. It wouldnt bother me to let them dig, except I live in a rental house and it drives my husband crazy for her to dig. Any advice on how to deter her from this?

Provide her with a sandbox where she can dig. HuskyLuv has posted some pics of hers and it deters digging except in the sandbox!

We need to try the sandbox too. Ghost has just in the last week started digging like crazy in our backyard, and no amount of correction seems to be working with her. She also likes to "dig" in the water dish we have inside, which leaves our living area floor flooded all the time. Thank god for tile!

My girl digs, and my boy stands in the water dish when he drinks.

Put poop in it. It will stop her, though you'll have to fill a few holes before she decides it's no fun.

lol. Learned that from my puppy class. It does help a lot. I got Siku to stop digging for a while, but them got Elara who started up her love of digging again. Rolling Eyes

More often then not they just start digging in a new spot.

Been there done that.
