A lot of things can be done by a dog that may cause their owners anxiety to blow. Some of these things are barking excessively, running away, urinating in the house, or chewing up anything that they see. These problems can be avoided if training is given when the dog is still a puppy. Proper training requires that the owner be consistent in the rewarding of good behavior and having consequences for poor behavior. Dogs love to have the attention of the owner, so ignoring the dog when it is behaving poorly and giving the dog attention when it is behaving properly is often all that is needed to change the dog's behavior. Another problem that dogs will sometimes participate in is digging. Reasons and Solutions A lot of reasons are behind digging, so as an owner, you will need to analyze these reasons first before you can train them to keep off digging. It is normal for dogs to enjoy digging, and for some dogs, the reason why they dig is merely because they are bored and need more activities in their lives. Some dogs dig to escape to find a mate. Some dogs just love digging in dirt that has been just fertilized. Some dogs just dig because it is a part of their nature and for some, they just like to find a place that is cool enough for them to lie on. And some dogs just like hiding their food in the dirt and they dig holes to do so. Let them learn tricks and experience a lot of new things. Usually, a bored dog becomes destructive and one way to avoid this is by walking them or giving them activities that will keep them on the go as these will be a new experience for them. Another way to keep a dog from digging is to refrain from giving him bones, which he might bury. Instead, the treats should be readily consumable so that there is nothing left to bury. You can try hiding and burying balloons in the places where your dog usually digs so when he digs again, the balloon will pop which in return will scare your dog giving him a negative experience which in the process, will make him stop digging in that spot again. Make sure that when you have your dogs play in the yard he is supervised so when they decide to dig, you can prevent this by spraying them with a hose or a squirt gun as part of their training on not digging.
