I figured how how to stop the puppy from digging!!
>/c>I am just soo proud of myself, I think I have finally figured out how to stop the puppy from digging..
He was going nuts in the backyard. He had 6 holes dug and it was starting to look like a war zone. Jack said I wasn't allowed to walk in the backyard in the dark anymore until he had them all filled. (5 years ago I stepped in a hole my husky had dug and broke my ankle. Guess he didn't want a repeat of that. It wasn't very pretty, actually, I was pretty pathetic).
So, back to the holes. I was trying to figure out what to put in them to make them unattractive and couldn't think of anything. I was idly watching Jack do the "poop patrol" in the yard, and a huge light bulb went off! Why not try??
We emptied the bucket (Jack emptied the bucket, it isn't my job) into the holes and covered them with a layer of dirt. Mr. Marley went to a hole, started to dig, and INSTANTLY stopped!
No more holes and we were estatic. Then, this weekend he dug another. Guess what we are putting in that one....
Try it if your puppy is digging, it might work for you too..
