Digging

By Sally Bradbury

Digging is a natural behaviour for a dog. Most dogs dig. If all her needs are being met, then just provide her with a digging pit. This can be a corner of a flower bed or a child’s sandpit. Let her watch you bury some treasure there, bone, toy biscuit, etc. Then help her dig it up. Do this a few times and then bury the treasure when she isn’t watching and let her discover it. Before long, if you occasionally bury something for her, she will only dig where you want her to.
