Has your dog turned your garden into a lunar landscape with craters everywhere? If so, the first thing you should know is that your dog is not doing this out of spite or out of a desire to destroy his garden. It does it by:

1. Entertainment.

Dogs can look for entertainment when they learn that roots and soil "play". Your dog may be looking for entertainment.

What to do.

Expand the world of your dog and increase the time of your people in the following ways:

    Walk with your dog at least twice a day. Lack of exercise is the main cause of problem behaviors.
    Play with them using active toys (balls, flying discs) as often as possible.
    Show him some orders or tricks. Practice this every day for 5 to 10 minutes.
    Keep interesting toys in the yard to keep your dog occupied when he is not around.

2. Hunting prey.

Dogs often dig in an effort to catch animals or insects that live in your garden. This may be the case if the excavation.

3. Comfort and protection.

In hot climates, dogs can dig holes to lie on fresh soil. They can also dig to protect themselves from cold, wind or rain or to find water. Your dog may be digging for comfort or protection.

What to do

Provide your dog with the comfort or protection he seeks. Bring them in more often, and make sure your outdoor shelter is comfortable, protected from heat and cold, and access to water in a container that can not be thrown away.

4. Attention.

Any behavior can become attention behavior if the dog learns that he receives attention by participating in it. Your dog may be looking for attention if they dig in your presence.

What to do.

Ignore attention-seeking behavior and congratulate your dog for the behavior of "good dog". Also, make sure your dog has enough time to walk and play with you every day.

5. Escape.

Dogs can try to escape to get to something, to get somewhere or to get away from something. Your dog may be digging to escape.

What to do

Find out why your dog tries to escape and eliminate those incentives. Make sure your environment is a safe and attractive place for a dog.

6. What does not work?

Regardless of the reason why your dog is digging, do not punish your dog after the fact. This will not address the cause of the behavior and will worsen any excavation motivated by fear or anxiety. Rethink your dog near a hole that has dug or fill the hole with water.
