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 could be the corner of a flower bed or a child’s sandpit. Let her watch you bury some treasure there, like a bone, a toy, or a biscuit. Then help her dig it up. Do this a few times, then bury the treasure when she isn’t watching and let her discover it. If you continue to occasionally bury something for her, she will soon only dig where you want her to.
