RE: [pyrnet] Digging Pyr

My rescue female just loves this practice... second only to letting the world know that she is in charge by barking when outside (quiet in the house).

Put some of the dogs poops on top of all of the holes that the pup is digging. I've done this and my rescue female will never touch one of those spots again.

Good luck! Nancy

Hi,

A friend of mine has a 14 month old Pyr X Burnese Mountain Dog. The pup has
made numerous holes in her backyard. She went back to the breeder and
apparently the dad (Pyr) has been a digger all his life and they gave up on trying
to stop him. My friend is needing some advice on how to stop the digging.
She has a small child and an elderly dog who are at risk of getting hurt in
the holes. I believe that the dog is a house dog and can dig very quickly
when she is out. Any suggestions on how to discourage the digging? Otherwise
the dog is very well behaved and there aren't any other problems.

My Pyr used to dig in the lawn and flower patch, but after yelling at him
(which he hates), he stopped.  Now he only digs in the strawberry patch,
chasing the mice, which I can live with.

Thanks,
Christine
