Does your dog dig?

How did you cure it?

I remember with one dog I used to fill up his holes with his shit, then top it with dirt because he would always dig up the same holes.

He didn't like getting the shit on his paws, so he stopped.

What are your tricks?

Fill the holes with water and then dunk his head in it and hold it there a while.

You have to be consistent and, even better, catch him in the act.

its a sign of nervous energy.. try walking it every day for an hour..or get a treadmill to run it on if you dont have time to run it yourself.

My dogs have such bad behavior when I dont run all the energy out of them. Nothing like 200 lbs of wild dogs being totally content.

this might seem kinda cruel but it does work...wrap some kind of tape around each of his paws..he'll be more concerned on how to get the tape off then digging.

Mine do but its because they smell oyster shells in the mud. I had to figure this out, the dog was going nuts digging little holes all over.

If its a male dog, neutering helps too because they like to dig to get out of the yard and find some action. The roaming urge is gone with their balls.

Walk him for an hour a day.. if that doesn't work or you can't do it for an hour, I suggest getting a doggie backpack and putting weights in to make his exercise really tired him out.... He won't bother digging. OR as an alternative... get a kid's sandbox, fill it with kids sand, and let him dig in there. He will LOVE it and you can teach him to dig only there.

Yeah, I'm a dog abuser. Dumbass. I've actively been involved in breed rescue for 5 years, investing thousands of hours of my time and thousands of dollars of my money rescuing dogs. What the fuck have you done?

Give him a timeout... no joke it works...

You've seen it already Im sure... pups get so ridiculously attached its not even funny...


Gigi at this point when she knows shes done something we don't approve of, will walk herself into her crate, and hide for 30 minutes, just feeling bad until we comfort her...

Shes gotten over holes, chewing through furniture and random objects, even chasing the cats after about 2-3 months of solid crate training.

Sometimes they dig to dull their claws, otherwise it's instinct. Over time if when in the act you catch them and 'punish' them, not severly, and not with hitting or negative reenforcement, just how the mother would do it then pup will stop.. you always still have to pay attention and make like an 'uhuhuhhh.. I don't think sooo' noise and they'll connect that with 'I shouldn't do what I'm about to do'..

Dogs can also dig sometimes to look for nutrients if they are missing some.. adding Brewer's Yeast (tablespoon) to meals twice a day, mix it in, can sometimes help.

if he likes to dig in the same spots... fill the spots with some pepper

keep his nails trimmed

the best solution is to scold the dog when he is digging... i had trouble getting to my dog while he was digging so i made up a pail of water ballons and tossed one at him each time i caught him

I had a dog pyschologist out coz my dog was eating stuff and being bad when going walks. Also when in the garden at night and people were walking by he would bark at them, the person I had in told me to do this!

Fill up water balloons and keep them by the door, when he did it, throw one at him... it was fun!

My dog only digs when he goes over to Makingcoin's place. Our dogs dug a freaking hole under the cement patio large enough for them to fit in, and they are not small dogs.

Wow, so you're like some sort of dog priest?

Do you shove all their little heads underwater til they can't breathe?

Its always those who feel they have to "save" that do the most damage. Must harbor a lot of guilt for all those suffocated pets you've had.

i would hate to get a dog from a rescue organisation that had you as a staff member/volunteer. shoving a dog's head in a hole filled with water, shoving their nose in their own shit, etc. does not teach a dog that what they did was wrong. if you worked so long with dogs (as i have) you would know that their memories are not long enough to remember what you're punishing them for. all it teaches them is to fear you. these are punishments that only reinforce bad behaviour.

baddog, you mentioned the one thing that i've ever tried and seen work outside of exercising the dog until he's dog-tired. you have a high energy dog breed, have you taught him frisbee yet/gone to dog beach? i bet he's a natural!

Dog beach is a fairly decent trek from here . . . I don't get that much free time during the day. The dog park is a lot closer, and he loves it.

As far as chasing frisbees, he is more inclined to stealing them from other dogs that have caught them for their masters.

Ah, a herding dog. Better get yourself some sheep if you want to get his energy out.

"Like most working dogs, Border Collies are highly energetic, and as a result have a tendency towards neurotic or destructive behavior if not given enough to do."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Collie

Those are one of the worst breeds to try and contain. Some of the most knowledgeable dog owners I've ever known even do not recommend those dogs for city life. Good luck!

hey, at least there are lots of chicks at dog parks. Seems like you might be spending some time there, eh?

I was thinking of burying his balls in one of his holes. Thought that might get his attention.

I don't think he does it to get out of the yard, unless he is going via China.

I'd hate to have someone too afraid to discipline their animal adopt a dog from me. Those are the people who usually return the dog (or who surrender it in the first place) because they can't control it.

Thats why you never discipline a dog after it has forgotten what it did.
I never said "Go out there and shove his nose in the hole 5 weeks after he dug it". If he's not actively performing the bad behavior (or JUST stopped it), you'd be wasting your time.

I doubt you've ever had a truly hard case dog to deal with.

I had a dog who literally did everything bad you can imagine. She was terrible. She dug. She chewed up a couch. No, I don't mean nibbled it. I mean one day I went to class and by the time I came back and the entire couch was decimated. She chewed holes through doors. She had such massive separation anxiety anytime I left the house something new was destroyed. Shoes, even a weight bench.

By the time I was done with her, she was the model of good behavior. I could walk her down the sidewalk in Bensonhurst on a busy Saturday morning and she'd walk right next to me without any need for a leash.

I had to put her to sleep for medical reasons when she was 6. The night before I put her down, I tried to feed her steak for dinner. I put the steak, fresh off the grill, right in front of her. She didn't touch it.

Negative reinforcement is important to training. No, you shouldn't be heavy handed with discipline, and any discipline should match the infraction. Both positive and negative should also be consistent.

The dog should be convinced first by the joy that your praise gives him. When he does bad, he should be saddened by the fact that he has disappointed you. And when he cannot or will not be made to understand that you expect more, you need to be willing to punish him. If that means putting him on sit-stay for 20 minutes or something more, so be it. Anyone unwilling to put the time into training a dog should not have one - because those are the people who finally end up surrendering their animal (or worse yet, euthanizing them) because they can't muster up the intestinal fortitude to train an animal.

My dogs dig under the lawn to look for rocks to eat. It's a pain in the ass.

baddog, you mentioned the one thing that i've ever tried and seen work outside of exercising the dog until he's dog-tired. you have a high energy dog breed, have you taught him frisbee yet/gone to dog beach? i bet he's a natural!
He's just following along with a "popular" camp of dog breeding. Was some disney animal trainer rocket scientist who pioneered all those techniques... I prefer to go with a Cesar Milan type of viewpoint personally.

Great idea, sparky.

'Dog Whisperer' sued over pet's injury

Associated Press
May. 5, 2006 12:51 PM


LOS ANGELES - A television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, star of TV's "The Dog Whisperer," claiming that his Labrador retriever was injured at Millan's training facility after being suffocated by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Superior Court, "8 Simple Rules" producer Flody Suarez says he took 5-year-old Gator to the Dog Psychology Center on Feb. 27 to deal with fears of other dogs and strangers.

Hours after dropping the dog off at the facility, Suarez claimed a worker called to inform him the animal had been rushed to a veterinarian. He later found the dog "bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath and with severe bruising to his back inner thighs," the lawsuit claims.

The facility's workers allegedly placed a choke collar on the dog, pulled him onto a treadmill and forced him to "overwork." Suarez says he spent at least $25,000 on medical bills and the dog must undergo more surgeries for damage to his esophagus.

A call to the Dog Psychology Center, also named as a defendant, was not immediately returned. A spokesman for National Geographic Channel, which airs Millan's show, declined comment.

"As of this time, the National Geographic Channel has not been served with either lawsuit, and we do not comment on pending litigation," said Russell Howard, the channel's vice president of communications.

The complaint claims breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other allegations. It seeks more than $25,000 in damages.

The face-in-shit trick works on cats too... And the last thing i knew from my last dog was that it died, so i dug a hole to bury him... Schennan, relax dude... Not eveybody knows how to train a dog, some ppl just want a pet, not a marine. Chill out! xD

Cheers.

Pd: Sorry for the dog. A dead dog is sad if u love it.
Pd2: Im not a dog trainer, but everytime i raised one, they never where a problem... I think they r a little like ppl, when they get used to a routine, they keep on that line. If they get used to go to a certain place for shitting, or eating, or u give them a soft slap everytime they r doing something wrong, they will get the idea at last.

I know 'the books" say not to rub a puppies nose in it when he pees on the floor, but I can attest to the fact that it works.

I think Buddy had a total of 3 accidents and now he is trained.
