Life Pets and digging - Page 3

My two Siberian Huskies are driving me nuts with their constant digging. I'm always outside covering up holes and it's starting to get old. I always tell them to stop when I catch them but most of the time they do it when I'm at work or school.

Does anybody have any ideas as to putting a stop to it?

alright people who want to condition your dogs but dont have either space or time let me introduce to some tricks of the trade.

flirtpole- 5 minutes or less for most dogs. dont wanna make them bored with it. i use an old fishing rod, twine & a squirrel,coon, fox, tail/pelt you can use toys, rags, whatever gets the prey responce motivated. i also dont let them catch it but thats and oldtimers deal.

springpole- all dogs are wired the same way(prey drive) so this should work on all types.

its alittle more difficult to build. couldnt find a good video(bunch of friggin idiots) this will give you an idea.

couple things only let the dogs front paws off the ground and until the dog is two years old dont let them really get after it. dogs teeth dont fully set till after 2. and a dog on a spring pole with all fours off the ground runs the risk of injury and imo dont get as good a workout.

if you have two dogs train them one at a time. let the other watch while one is working. always encourage your pet.
