Finding ways to make the area where the dog digs unappealing may be effective, however, it\u2019s likely that he\u2019ll just begin digging in other locations or display other unacceptable behavior, such as chewing or barking. A more effective approach is to address the cause of the digging, rather than creating location aversions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Seeking Entertainmen<\/strong>t<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dogs may dig as a form of self-play when they learn that roots and soil \u201cplay back.\u201d Your dog may be digging for entertainment if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>He\u2019s left alone in the yard for long periods of time without opportunities for interaction with you<\/li>\n<li>His environment is relatively barren, without playmates or toys<\/li>\n<li>He\u2019s a puppy or adolescent (under three years old) and doesn\u2019t have other outlets for his energy<\/li>\n<li>He\u2019s the type of dog (like a terrier) that is bred to dig as part of his \u201cjob\u201d<\/li>\n<li>He\u2019s a particularly active type of dog (like the herding or sporting breeds) who needs an active job to be happy<\/li>\n<li>He\u2019s recently seen you \u201cplaying\u201d in the dirt (gardening or working in the yard)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend expanding your dog\u2019s world and increasing his \u201cpeople time\u201d the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Walk your dog regularly. It\u2019s good exercise, mentally and physically, for both of you!<\/li>\n<li>Teach your dog to fetch a ball or Frisbee and practice with him as often as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Teach your dog a few commands and\/or tricks. Practice these commands\/tricks every day for five to ten minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Take an obedience class with your dog and practice daily what you\u2019ve learned.<\/li>\n<li>Keep interesting toys in the yard to keep your dog busy even when you\u2019re not around (Kong-type toys filled with treats or busy-box toys). Rotating the toys makes them seem new and interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For dedicated diggers, provide an \u201cacceptable digging area.\u201d Choose an area of the yard\u00a0where it\u2019s okay for your dog to dig and cover the area with loose soil or sand. If you catch your\u00a0dog digging in an unacceptable area, interrupt the behavior with a loud noise, say, \u201cno dig\u201d and\u00a0take the dog to his designated digging area. When he digs in the approved spot, reward him with praise. Make the unacceptable digging spots unattractive (at least temporarily) by setting sharp rocks or chicken wire into the dirt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Seeking Prey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dogs may try to pursue burrowing animals or insects that live in your yard. Your dog may be pursuing prey if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The digging is in a very specific area, usually not at the boundaries of the yard<\/li>\n<li>The digging is at the roots of trees or shrubs<\/li>\n<li>The digging is in a \u201cpath\u201d layout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend that you search for possible signs of pests and then rid your yard of them. Avoid methods that could be toxic or dangerous to your pets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Seeking Comfort or Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In hot weather, dogs may dig holes in order to lie in the cool dirt. They may also dig to provide themselves with shelter from cold, wind or rain, or to try to find water. Your dog may be digging for protection or comfort if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The holes are near foundations of buildings, large shade trees or a water source<\/li>\n<li>Your dog doesn\u2019t have a shelter or his shelter is exposed to the hot sun or cold winds<\/li>\n<li>You find evidence that your dog is lying in the holes he digs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend that you provide your dog with other sources for the comfort or protection he seeks.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Provide an insulated doghouse. Make sure it affords protection from wind and sun.<\/li>\n<li>Your dog may still prefer a hole in the ground, in which case you can try the \u201capproved digging\u00a0area\u201d recommendation described above. Make sure the allowed digging area is in a protected\u00a0spot.<\/li>\n<li>Provide plenty of fresh water in a bowl that can\u2019t be tipped over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Seeking Attention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Any behavior can become attention-getting behavior if dogs learn that they receive attention for\u00a0engaging in it (even punishment is a form of attention). Your dog may be digging to get attention if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>He digs in your presence<\/li>\n<li>His other opportunities for interaction with you are limited<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend that you ignore the behavior.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Don\u2019t give your dog attention for digging (remember, even punishment is attention).<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your dog has sufficient time with you on a daily basis, so he doesn\u2019t have to resort to\u00a0misbehaving to get your attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Seeking Esca<\/strong><strong>pe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dogs may escape to get to something, to get somewhere or to get away from something. Your dog may be digging to escape if:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>He digs along the fence line<\/li>\n<li>He digs under the fence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We recommend the following in order to keep your dog in the yard while you work on the behavior modifications.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Bury chicken wire at the base of the fence (sharp edges rolled under)<\/li>\n<li>Place large rocks, partially buried, along the bottom of the fence line<\/li>\n<li>Bury the bottom of the fence one to two feet under the ground<\/li>\n<li>Lay chain link fencing on the ground (anchored to the bottom of the fence) to make it uncomfortable for your dog to walk near the fence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regardless of the reason for digging, we don\u2019t recommend:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Punishment after the fact. Not only does this not address the cause of the behavior, any digging that\u2019s motivated by fear or anxiety, will be made worse. Punishment may also cause anxiety in dogs that aren\u2019t currently fearful.<\/li>\n<li>Staking a dog out near a hole he\u2019s dug or filling the hole with water. These techniques don\u2019t address the cause of the behavior, or the act of digging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>This material is published with the explicit permission of Dumb Friends League, Denver, Colorado, where it was originally developed by applied animal behaviorists.
