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. |

| Roxy and our GSD are digging holes in our backyard. Yesterday they dug one by the gate and our Yorkie got out. Someone found him down the street but thankfully looked at his tags and brought him home. Any suggestions on what I can do about the hole digging situation. It's getting bad and I can tell my parents are getting pissed |

| Sadly my yard looks like a dug up minefield in certain areas lol Maybe make a designated area for them to dig? Like a doggy sandbox almost. |

| Nothing will stop a dog from digging but these here have kept mine from digging and escaping.

Not sure what type of fencing you have but I see no reason why they couldn't be adapted. |

| Kenneling or crating during the time you are not with them would be my suggestion. Or like Ashely mentioned, a designated spot that you can train them to use. I have one for Kale, but he rarely digs, mostly because I don't leave him unsupervised outside. |

| They are both in crates when we are gone at work but they are soooo hyper when we get home and I always feel bad but my bros get home from school way before me so they let them outside, but they don't supervise which annoys me thanks to Xbox. . The sand box suggestion is pretty good. They started digging when it started getting cooler. I had a plastic kiddie pool outside during the summer for them to play in, cool down, and hydrate and they loved it. It was such a good distraction. They stopped digging for a while then started again. I thought we were getting somewhere but of course not. My dad suggested fillin the holes then sprinkle cayenne pepper on and around the holes which work for my GSD when I was little, Roxy is a whole new kind of stubborn haha. Hopefully we can control the digging spree before the backyard looks like the moon! |

| I never throw Freya's poops away, I collect them in a nice neat pile and use them in her dig sites. When she digs a hole I cover it in nad put a nice little pile of poop on top, covering it with a fine layer of dirt. She stops digging in that area. Of course she finds a new place to dig, but thats why I have reserved poops |

| I absolutely detest the digging as well as the finding and eating of small rocks and stones and if Kaya had her way she'd spend all day outside doing it.
So, for the last 3 weeks I have been taking her out on her leash every single time so that I can supervise her and bring her back inside when I'm ready to do so. I very seldom leave her outside to just do her own thing now. She can wander around the yard to her hearts content, but when I see her getting ready to dig or do something that I don't particularly care for, I go over to her, pick up the leash and either guide her away from the area or go back inside. |
