I had a girl who loved to dig...she dug for the sake of digging...not to bury anything or to stay cool, she just loved to dig...We got her a plastic swimming pool and let her " have at it " and she got it all out in the pool! Actually had to have 2 pools, 'cause she didn't like to share and the other dogs just wanted to wade around and not get splashed!

Through the years, I have had lots of "MIGHTY" diggers. They have dug in rocks, grass, gravel, dirt, etc. We added a dog to our pedigrees some years ago and everyone down from him dug holes.. Well, I haven't had a hole digger in any breed recently.... Until this Spring.......... Pepper has decided that my partially done flowerbed, my mulch bed, my hosta bed and the grass next to the sprinkler heads are her own personal sandbox.. Anyone got a cure, beside getting a hunting dog collar and zapping her once or twice? I remember we tried everything with the dals and most outgrew the problem, but I might have ti kill Pepper before then. She has plenty of toys, gets tons of attention, gets a 10 minute training session in the morning and 2 miles of biking in the evening.... Part of it is that she buries things, but most of it is just to dig... Suggestions? Anyone? I am sure there are others with the same problem.... Or I could patiently wait....or not.
