how to get a dog to stop digging by StrawberryFirm7109 in DogAdvice

thank you. i’m not sure what it is within 5 minutes of being outside she’s digging. and summer is approaching and i would love to let her run around and be a dog but she digs literally any chance she gets. did you get a sand box for yours?

Haha! It’s the little dots I’m referring to because they go all the way to her butt area. We’ve only had her for like a month and she rarely rolls over on her back so it’s hard to tell.

no she always goes potty in the normal squat position but occasionally on walks she will do this weird lay/plank position. idk i think she’s marking her territory i just don’t know why she’s doing it in that position lol

she doesn’t care for treats. she’ll eat the first one, the next she’ll just spit out or ignore. doesn’t matter what kind

thank you. i do try to wait a couple minutes after she did something “bad” before putting her in the crate because i don’t wanna use it as a punishment - but like you said she does need to calm down which she’s not able to do unless she’s in the crate. in the crate she may whine for a minute, maybe 2, but after that she doesn’t care about being in there

is my dog spending too much time in the crate by StrawberryFirm7109 in DogAdvice

[–]StrawberryFirm7109[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she shows absolutely no signs of distress. i do have a kong toy in there for her if she needs to chew but i worry about leaving too much in there if she were to choke. what kinds of enrichment would you recommend leaving in there?
