digging in yard
Part of the problem is probably age-related... has been in most of my
dogs. Extinguishing the behavior is probably going to drive one or the other of you nuts.... grin I'd give him his own digging pit, AND I'd do a terrier job on the fence line. Having lived with terriers, the professional miners of the dog world, for over 20 years, the best fence-line solution I've met up with is the following..... Using wire fencing (around here it's called hog wire) for a 4 foot tall fence... It's laid flat on the ground, then slid up 6-10 inches on the existing fencing and wired there or stapled, depending on the fence material. Wire or staple at the top of the wire and at the botton of the fencing, bending the wire so the rest lays flat on the ground. Use landscape staples to anchor the fencing to the ground, at the fence line and at the edges with a few staples in the center. The turf will grow up around, it and as you have laid it flat, you can mow right over i, no problem. One friend of mine, who moved around a bit over several years, simply pulled the wire up with each move, rolled it, and it went from house to house with her. The dog can't dig through it... and it's right down quickly uncomfortable to try.... When this has been used for terrier-proofing there have been no reported under-the-fence escapes. It does not cure over-the-fence escapes, however.... grin Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |
