How To Stop Your Dog From Digging Up Everything In Sight!

How do I teach my dog not to dig?

Dogs usually dig out of boredom. They will dig holes to escape when they feel frustrated or bursting with energy and need an outlet. They will also dig when they are lonely since dogs are very social animals.

Dogs also dig to eat the soil if they aren't getting the proper nutrients in their diet. If this is the case, make sure you give your pet a multi-supplement. You can tell if he is eating the dirt (called pica) if his nose is covered with dirt. It could be anemia, but make sure you have him checked by a veterinarian to make sure.

A dog can also get serious bacterial infections from dirt. And the digging and constant abrasions to the nose can cause cancer over a period of time, if left to continue digging holes. One of the best ways to prevent digging is by keeping him cool. When he is cool, he won't need to bother with the earth as their next choice.

Check with your vet. There are mood-altering drugs for the extreme cases to stabilize his emotions. Spend more time together. This will keep his boredom at bay.
