My black lab is digging holes in my yard. The first chance she gets when no one is watching she digs. ?

Question

my boyfriend lets her out with the other two to go potty or the cleaning lady and she digs. She has tons of toys and two other dogs to play with plus I adore her and she gets lots of attention.

Answer 1

Dogs don't get exercise in a back yard.

How much fast walking exercise is she getting?

Dogs who don't get enough exercise dig.

Answer 3

hahahahaha   Dogs they are  great!!!  Some dogs just love to feel the coolness underneath dirt and like to watch all the little insects scatter around... just keep telling her to stop until she gets the idea.. catch her in the middle of the act be stern and put her sitting down somewhere.. get on her about it until she gets the the understanding... But don't expect her to never dig again, because that's what dogs love to do!!!

Answer 4

Get her a sandbox or her own little area to dig in.  Bury a couple of toys there - ones that you can put treats in work great - and encourage her to dig there.  She should get it pretty quick and this allows her to dig without messing up the yard.  Good luck!

Answer 5

start walking her everyday for atleast 30 minutes. I had the same problem with my bullmastiff who was digging holes she could sit in and be leave to the ground.  Every since we started going for a daily walk I have not had any other holes in my yard.
