Why Dogs Dig

It is natural for dogs to want to dig and most dogs enjoy doing so. In fact, many breeds have been genetically selected over the years specifically because of their inclination and abilities to dig. This includes most terrier breeds (hence, the name terrier, from the French word terre, which means earth or ground). Unfortunately, when digging is done in the wrong place, it suddenly becomes a behavioral problem.Dogs that dig are probably digging either

How to Stop Dog Digging

Digging is a behavior that can be hard to break. Most dogs love to dig, so once you notice any digging it is best to stop the habit and prevent it from occurring again. The best way to prevent your dog from digging is to address why your dog is digging in the first place. Most dogs begin to dig because they are bored, they are hot, they want to escape, or they are hunting
