She just started digging in the grass a few days ago. It's funny because this week we've gone hiking every day and I took her to the dog park Monday and Wednesday in the evening, so I don't really understand why she is digging in the lawn. How can I prevent this. Do any of those "No chew" and "No dig" things work?

She is a husky dear, digging is a natural occurrence.

Gross as it sounds I put some of her poop in the holes. She doesn't dig there anymore.

It's not a specific hole, they are scattered all over the lawn. There's about 4 of them.

She doesn't do it with her paws she rips the grass out with her mouth lol.

Huskies like to dig. Do you have enough space to let her have a small part of the garden to dig in? If so, you could train her to dig there and leave the rest of the lawn alone.

We've observed that Sabaka usually digs for a purpose. In other words, there's actually something to dig up. His favorite excavations are small roots around the base of trees, the black fabric barrier laid under the mulch, the end of a drain spout, a bug, a worm, a mole...

In summary, we have not figured out how to get our guy to stop!

And of course this describes Kody! He'll dig to get up the roots of the grass

I have a special place for Kale to dig and get messy lol i don't like training out instincts, but thats just a personal preferance. One of the members here actually built a sand box for digging. Pretty neat.

We bought load of topsoil and we fill up the holes as they dig them. Just another way to exercise thanks to the Huskies!
