gsdog2 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 hi we have a 6 months old lab she has started to dig holes in our backyard we have put her poo in the holes, and she justs it her poo and diggs more . what can we do Give her a designated area (a purpose built sandpit) and encourage her to dig there. Bury her toys, and then make a game with her of finding them again. I've had a sandpit for my dogs for the last 10 years and since then I've never had problems with any of my dogs digging up the yard . At the moment I have a 7yr old GSD, a 3yr old Goldie and a 3mth old GSD pup and all three of them use the sandpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent idea, and might I also suggest a very light sprinkling of curry powder, pepper or chilli powder in the holes you dont wont revisisted. But make sure you dont use too much.

Lab lady Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 the poo method always works for me. to stop her eating the poo add 2 to 3 tablespoons of unsweetened pineapple juice to her meal. Also citronella oil sprayed on the mulch also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
