How to keep a Dog from Digging - Stop Dog Frustration

Frustration is another factor that can result in a dog digging. Dogs often times are confined inside gated areas. It can get frustrating for him to hear noise outside but notbe able to get outside. When a dog has been confined for a long time he will often times try to dig his way outside. Be sure to check on your dog when he's in the yard and keep in mind the things we suggested on boredom. Spend time with your dog. Go outside and play with him, this will entertain him and distract him from digging.

Exercise: Giving your dog enough exercise is always one thing that will help you in the long run. Making sure your dog constantly gets enough exercise will ensure to reduce the digging problem. Dogs need at least half an hour of exercise a day, but if you have a very active dog – as most dogs who dig a lot are – then he will need anywhere from one – three hours a day. Let him run around off the leash, play with other dog friends, or take him to a day care. He needs constant exercise and action. Make sure you are doing everything for him before you start getting crabby about his digging problem.
