how can i get my dog to stop digging?

Danielle P

I got a dog not too long ago, and i found out she loves to dig! It isn't a problem when she is outside, but the other day I had to put her in my room, because my sister does not like her roaming the house, and it was raining. My dog hates the rain. So i had to go to class for an hour, and when i got home she had successfully dug up my sisters brand new carpet. How can i stop this?

Answer
Next time it rains, leave her in a bathroom (or better still crate train her)
As for her loving to dig OUTside, buy here one or two of those kiddie plastic Clam Shell swimming pools (About $20 from Kmart) and fill it with dirt. Hide her treats and toys in here and then she will have a spot that she is allowed to dig (digging isn't naughty, its a natural doggy behavior) You might have to top up the dirt every now and then as she will kick it around. Hope this helps

need a chew proof dog bed?

So i went and spent $40 on a crate pad at petco that said it was "chew resistent", it was made to fit my crate and had a removable outerlayer that was machine washable. Well I put it in and 2 hours later when I came back home he had chewed it open and broke the zipper....

UGH! the store with give me store credit so thats good...

Anyone know what I can put in there so he doesnt have to sleep on just the hard plastic? I have used blakets and stuff like that put he pushes them all to one side... does he like the hard plastic ro somthing??

It gets cold here in the winter time and he will want something nce and warm to sleep on and get off the plastic.

what is something i can put in there that he cant chew up/apart? maybe post a link to a petco or petsmart store where it can be found. (where i shop for him as well as kmart and wallmart)

thanks! the crate i have is 42"L X 28"W X 31"H i want something that will fit in there nice.

Otherwise, maybe he'll just have to be kept on plastic. Good luck!
