Ways to get your dog to stop digging

It takes hours of hard work to maintain a pristine lawn, but seconds for a dog to destroy. How do you get a dog to stop digging holes in your yard?

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.

Good smells in the ground can be the reason why your dog wants to dig. If your dog doesn’t find the smell of the ground appealing, the dog wouldn’t want to dig. It would make sense if the dog smelled something he really didn’t like, he would stop.

Dogs are individuals and, as such, have their own likes and dislikes. Finding a smell that your dog does not like, such as mouthwash, and spreading it around the lawn may be just enough to deter your canine pal.

If your dog hates the smell of mouthwash as much as mine does, his curiosity of digging will depreciate.

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.

Seeing as most dogs dislike fecal matter, it is only natural that they will not want it on their feet, thus putting an end to the digging.
