I'm sure dog owners who have a yard full of open holes are wondering how to get a dog to stop digging? Your poor lawn and flowers could definitely use the break. Well, the good news is that it's really not that difficult of a process.

Though you may think that your dog is doing the work on purpose, you dog really isn't. You should always try not to physically harm your dog for doing wrong.

If you do physically harm your dog you will turn the matter into an even worse situation.

There could be a few different reasons why the dog is digging. It could be that he smells something that he really likes. Even if that isn't the case, don't you think if the dog smelled something he didn't like, it would be a possible motivation to stop digging? You bethca!

You could find what smells your dog is not fond of, then place those smells around your yard. A great example would be something like mouthwash, which most dogs really don't like.

You dog will not find digging necessary if the smell is not appealing. It's only natural that his interest would stop.

If the dog repetitively digs in the same hole there are other ways to deter them. Substances that dogs dislike, such as their own feces, can become your best weapon. Adding it to the hole can be very effective.

It's proven that dogs dislike the feeling of poop on their feet, just like most people, I would assume.
