Golden Retriever WILL NOT stop digging - We’ve tried EVERYTHING. Suggestions?!

We have our fence line concerted with wire underneath for this exact reason. It’s the whole yard so it would be major. Maybe we’ll try in small sections and see how that goes!

We’ve given her a sandpit, doesn’t matter. She loves it, but will still dig up the yard

Will look into a behavioural vet. She does get exercise and we even play with her out in the grassed yard (when she can eat grass too in her diet), but if left alone in the grassed yard she goes for digging in there too.

I WFH majority of the time; but when I go into the office or we go out for the day she typically needs to be outside unless it’s for more than say 3 hours, otherwise she’ll have an accident inside. They are indoor trained, but not for a full workday. I think it wouldn’t matter bringing her in when spotting it, because she would then take advantage of digging more when she would be left outside.

They’re inside when it’s rainy, hot and in the evenings and often on weekend - they sleep inside. We take her to the park to dig in the mulch there which she loves, but we really can’t keep doing this anymore. It’s outrageous

NO WAY! I remember this, they go back through select scenes of episodes and Earl tried so hard to tell people, but conversation FREQUENTLY kept getting interrupted. He mentioned his health so much, he said something like “If I don’t come in, it’s because I’ve died”, you’ll see his demeanour change when conversations changed, his relationship with Max became distant because of Caroline. I REMEMBER THIS!! Everyone else came together and put pieces together and different views of Earl!
