whittled the following words:

Is there any way to stop the digging in the yard


The best way is to adapt.Take a multipronged approach.
Assuming that he is digging just because he finds it fun the most effective
solution is to give him a digging spot. Supervise his outdoors time so you
can redirect him to the correct spot.
Give the dog a sandbox. Then they have an assigned area to dig.
Another is to use a dog safe yard insect killer. Right now, there are tons
of yummy grubs/pupae emerging and the dogs love to dig them up. Walk the
dog elsewhere for a couple of days after yard application. You will have
fewer bugs as well as a dog hole free yard. When you fill in the holes,
put their own poop in them, and give it a dose of capsacin before filling
in. And for good measure, add some chicken wire mesh just under the
surface. It will allow grass growth, and eventually disintegrate after the
dog has long learned not to dig except in their assigned sand box.

If you don't ABUSE the dog you're workin with...


the dog enjoys it.



Dogs DO NOT ENJOY being FORCED
HURT INTMIDATED and BRIBED, matty.


The only dog that I've had since a puppy enjoys

Hi, Jerry.


I'm not sure that I'm a 100% convert, or that I agree

ball at my feet on command. He's still not perfect

want to push and test me a little bit more).


For what it's worth, I can see (as no doubt you have)
how your usenet manner is likely to rankle a few
folks, but that woman who advocates ear pulling and
beating with sticks deserves everything she gets. Even
if that was the only method that would work, I'd live
with my dog not fetching rather than do any of that.

tho').

Has anyone had experience with this product (Fido-Shock).

If you're talking about the pet-grade hotwire system, I have
one. It's to keep boarded dogs out of my flowers.


I have a 1.5 year St Bernard who is scaling (not clearing --
more like falling over) our 4 foot fence to visit with owners
walking their dogs. I thought of raising the fence a foot or
so, but don't think that'll solve the problem. I've tried
watching her outside, and give a stern "NO" when she
props on the fence for a peek over it. No avail.


I've heard this product works after just a couple of tries.




I take it you're considering running the wire across the top
of the fence? I don't think I'd recommend that, although it
may be worth a try. Watch closely -- the one case where I saw
a hotwire used in this fashion caused the dog undue stress and
frustration, and he tried even harder to get over the fence.
So be prepared to take it down right away.

That was a Dane, though. With a Saint things might be
different.

Electronics can be used to create an aversion to cats, but
should be used under the direction of a trainer who knows how
to instruct the owner in their proper use. Electronics can
take the form of shock, sonic or citronella collars. At that
time the owner will train with electronics instead of food or
whatever other reward system was being used."


8) Put a prong collar with a six-foot leash on the dog.
Don't forget to put the muzzle on the dog. I think a prong
works better than a choke with less chance of injury to the
dog in this situation. Have the dog in a sit-stay next to
you with most of the slack out of the leash and let the cat
walk through the room and up to the dog if it wishes (this is
why you have the dog muzzled).


If the dog makes an aggressive move towards the
cat, it must be corrected strongly with both your
voice and the collar.


This is important - the correction must be physically
very strong - not a nag. (PS: not many dogs need
to be corrected at all)."

Yeah. It's interesting, but kind of
watered down for the mass market, if
you know what I mean. There's really
quite a lot of good work out there and
decent research. Thank God.

BEEN ON TRICYCLICS FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS


"I don't take lithium, but I've been on trycyclics
for about 22 years. Been there, done that, have
the t-shirt to prove it. What's really terrific,
is now days you can say proudly,


"I take anti-depressives". Back when I started
taking them it was seen as something shameful.
If you cut your leg off, and were lying there with
a bleeding stump, you'd never let the word
depressed, pass your lips, or the doc's would say,
"You're depressed, on medication? Well, can't have
any pain meds.....you could become addicted."


The good old days. I actually had a Great Aunt who's
father locked her in her room back in the twenties
because she was simple. A shame that medication
probably would have helped her live a normal life.


No Denna, I was just saying with Darlene's
personality, she has a way of making grandiose
plans when at the top of her manic cycle....as
does my daughter. I wasn't saying that anyone
with problems could be counted on to be
irresponsible."

"It was kind of funny, in an absurd way. The rabbit
was completely still, eyes open and glazed, dried
blood in his ears and mouth, with his back legs
stiffening quickly.


It was her pet rabbit, not a wild bunny, so
that made it much harder for her.


And he was killed by bichons.


Her dogs had torn it apart. My one student who had
shown up (another weird thing about the night) and I
had to continuously check for heart and bowel sounds
for her, until she could accept that the rabbit was dead.


(The rigor mortis in his back legs she attributed to "pain").


Full moon.

YOUR STUDENT, leah. Like that RECENT GRADUATE

I will always remember the dogs.

Care to share any more information? The short answer is yes.

Not sure what more info is requested except he is digging in the yard,
nothing or for what reason I don't know he is just digging.


Information like:

Does he live out there?

Does he live in the home with you?

What obedience training have you done with him?

Is he out there alone much of the time, or is he supervised?

How much exercise does he get *with* someone interacting with him?

Stuff like that.

Makes an enormous difference. Otherwise, you're asking people to address
every conceivable possibility without knowing any background.

The sandbox approach worked for me, thank heavens! I have to remind him now
and then, but for the most part, he digs where I told him he could... The
sandbox. I praise him when he's in there.
I don't let him take bones outside because that would, for sure, let him
think he could dig wherever he pleases, for some reason. I learned this the
hard way.

Originally, you gave no indication as to whether this was even a
single dog, let alone what Tara covered with her questions.

except he is digging
in the yard, nothing or for what reason I don't know he is
just digging.


The usual reason for digging is "because it's fun".

Honestly, we'll help as much as the written word can, but a good
start will be answering Tara's questions.

As well, it would hel[p to know what kind of dog you have. Some dogs can be
taught not to dig, but some are hard-wired to dig, as they have been bred
especially for that purpose. You can't teach many terriers not to dig any
more than you can teach a Newfoundland to hate water. ;-)
