How to Get a Dog to Stop Digging and Save Your Garden

Submitted by dogtrain17

I'm sure dog owners who have a yard full of open holes are wondering how to get a dog to stop digging? You poor lawn and flowers could definitely use the break. Well, the good news is that it's really not that difficult of a process.

The first thing you have to remember though is that your dog isn't doing this on purpose, although it may feel that way. So, no matter what, make sure you don't hit your dog. It's been a studied fact, that hitting a dog will have more of a negative effect than a positive effect.

Use A Dog's Sense of Smell Against Him

There could be a few different reasons why the dog is digging. It could be that he smells something that he really likes. Even if that isn't the case, don't you think if the dog smelled something he didn't like, it would be a possible motivation to stop digging? You bethca!

Dogs are different. Notice what kind of smells your particular dog isn't a fan of. For example some dogs don't like mouthwash. If that's the case with your dog, dabble a little mouthwash around the lawn. If your dog hates the smell of mouthwash as much as mine does, his curiosity of digging will depreciate.

Sabotage The Holes.

A great way to prevent further digging in a hole is to sabotage it. Don't worry. I'm not talking about dynamite, or anything like. Next time your dog takes a poop, put some of it in the hole. It's a known fact that dogs hate having poop on their feet. (I guess they are not any different than us humans).
