loveretrievers Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Our gsd mix is mad about reticulation. Why?? she digs it up from the yard. We took her to the park last night and she found the retic there, she was trying to dig at the ground and rolled on the spot etc. Then sniffed her way to the retic station. Is it the smell of the water? pipes? Our last property didn't have bore water but this one does. The pipes are different here than the last property but still the same, she will dig it up and chew off the pipes. Does not seem to matter how much we get her out of the house or exercise. Retic hasn't been on at this property for a very long time but she still knows where and how to get to it. At a loss on how to get her to stop, she has to be outside during the day. Anyone else have a dog that's in love with the retic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had the same problem with our previous dog and we took it out for him as well. Not sure how old your dog is but ours is almost two. We hand water until they don't care about it anymore, usually a couple of years. Not a great solution but the only one we could come up with.

Crazy Daisy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think for my dogs it's the sound of the air bubbles in the pipe when the water goes through it, but if yours has not been in use...I don't know. For us, we turn off the taps when the dogs are out and every night when they are back in their run we turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
