Take her on walks. Dogs often dig to expend energy, and walking is a less destructive way to accomplish this. Put up a fence to keep your dog out of areas like your well-manicured lawn where you don t want her to dig. Confine your dog in a dog run with toys, shade and water. Keep your dog s sleeping area shaded in hot weather, and supply a wading pool if it s hot outside.

This allows your dog to enjoy the natural behavior of digging without ruining your yard. Inc. How things get done. Use of this Web site constitutes acceptance of the eHow Terms of Use and Privacy .
