Saint B digging
Our Saint Bernard has been digging in the yard. Chasing after moles and
field mice, I guess. When it's a 150-lb dog moving earth, "digging" is such a bland word. Looks like a moonscape back there. Like a drunk attacked my yard with a mini-backhoe. Seriously, some of the holes are 3+ ft deep chuckle. Looked out one time, and he was head-first in one, with most of his body hidden. flick 100785 |

I had a large 100+ lb Ridgeback that would dig at times.
I always put his poop in the holes - he stopped real soon. This worked for any outdoor behavior I didn't like - taking the gutters off the house, chewing on the air conditioner coils and even the outdoor grill cover - I literally had **** on the grill (cover of course) but he always steered clear of it and it cured them all pretty quickly one summer. wrote in message ...

Thanks, that's a great idea. Heaven knows we've got no shortage of poop here, LOL. I'm thinking about covering parts of the yard with several inches of gravel. Think that would help? I actually don't mind if he digs some holes, but would like to confine the digging to certain areas. flick 100785 |

You won't get anything more helpful out of me until you post pictures. LOL! Darling daughter and I just exchanged rooms. Found the camera, haven't found the cable yet. I post this stuff because the scale in which this dog does things is just astounding. Great dog. Responsive, smart, easy to train. flick 100785 Suja |
