NEED HELP - Digging Dog - What's Best Way To Stop?

ocdart said

Need some help getting our new Husky to stop digging. Our last Husky wasn't a 'digger' and neither is our Rhodesian Ridgeback.
We had to put down our prior Husky about six months ago and my wife missed her terribly. We adopted our current one a couple of months ago and all has been well until just recently when she (the Husky) must have discovered the joys of digging. Needless to say, the backyard flowers are disappearing at a rapid rate and my wife is getting very frustrated by it all.
So, how do we get both the Husky and the posies to happily coexist?
One of our friends suggested sprinkling cayenne pepper in the flower beds. Another said to put their poop in the holes they dig and fill them back in. What else you got that's worked for you

What has seemed to work for me ocdart is do not cover them back up for a while and every time he walked buy the holes and started digging he dug I would scold him :happy10: A young pup or an older dog needs a scolding to know you do care for them, it's a sign of love to most animals 8) Just reach down and grab the skin around his neck and squeeze and say no NO!! Buddy dug these two holes in about 10 minutes at my front door, Know when we walk by them he sticks his nose in it and I say no NO!! and he walks buy them know, I like the change in a can that ramcharger brought up :read2:
Buddy had his nose down on the ground in the back yard where a mole line was and he started digging and I made a few steps toward him saying no NO!! and he quit, I think digging is a good form of fun and exercise they enjoy and chewing on roots
Show them who is the boss and after a while they will quit ocdart :cheers:
Buddy still want's to dig but when he starts digging he looks me strait in the eyes and quit's , But if I am not with him he will dig 8)

We walk by these holes every morning and it helps him know that it's a no no to dig. I took this picture 5 minutes ago for you
