Default dog biting dirt.

Just did a very interesting consult for a dog biting and barking at dirt.

Funniest thing watching this dog obviously a high drive cross breed red
cattle and kelpie but due to boredom it started amusing itself.

A classic owner inspired caused problem anyway here was I did to fix the
problem.

I attached a check chain and long lead to the dog and did a basic routine
with him, he did all the normal things very quickly and seemed very focused,
but as soon as the kids started kicking dirt the dog was off.

I started with mild aversive telling the dog no, but this had very little
effect, even a raised voice had no effect, ok level 2 was a correction with
the chain just as he showed interest in the dirt, this had immediate effect
and we praised him for his efforts by doing a sit and food reward.

Within 5 minutes this dog lost all interest in the dirt and barking even off
lead good job and we did not charge for this as the owners now have to keep
the dog occupied.
