Does digging in the dirt make your canine super happy? That’s all well and fine unless your pup is digging up important parts of your yard. Black Labs are an example of a dog that loves to dig. It’s important to find this pup an alternative spot to let off some energy while digging is going to be key. Once you’ve found that spot, place some of your Black Lab’s toys there to give him the scent and impression that is his area. As for keeping him away from other parts of the yard, try walking your dog on a leash in the yard and around the areas he usually digs up. Allow him the opportunity to smell and look, but if he starts to dig give the leash a tug and pull him away with a “no” command. Repeat this until you’re able to walk your dog without him stopping to dig. Learn more from your veterinarian Dutchess County, NY.
