Tips to keep dog from digging up my yard?
We just got a new dog (~1 year old now, black lab/golden shepherd mix) and he's been digging holes in the back yard, especially along the fences and foundation slab. We scold him when we catch him doing it and divert his attention to something else, but aren't always hanging around watching him to be able to catch him in the act. We do keep him inside when possible, but that's not always feasible and he does really like playing in the back yard. What have any of you done that has worked to curtail a dog digging? I've seen some chemical stuff that you can spray/pour on the spots where he digs that's supposed to deter him. Also was considering one of those remote shock collars (but again, we'd have to be watching him for this to be effective). Any suggestions are appreciated... thanks!
