Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

She just started digging in the grass a few days ago. It's funny because this week we've gone hiking every day and I took her to the dog park Monday and Wednesday in the evening, so I don't really understand why she is digging in the lawn. How can I prevent this. Do any of those "No chew" and "No dig" things work?

She is a husky dear, digging is a natural occurrence.

Gross as it sounds I put some of her poop in the holes. She doesn't dig there anymore.

It's not a specific hole, they are scattered all over the lawn. There's about 4 of them.

Huskies like to dig. Do you have enough space to let her have a small part of the garden to dig in? If so, you could train her to dig there and leave the rest of the lawn alone.

We've observed that Sabaka usually digs for a purpose. In other words, there's actually something to dig up. His favorite excavations are small roots around the base of trees, the black fabric barrier laid under the mulch, the end of a drain spout, a bug, a worm, a mole...

In summary, we have not figured out how to get our guy to stop!

I have a special place for Kale to dig and get messy lol i don't like training out instincts, but thats just a personal preferance. One of the members here actually built a sand box for digging. Pretty neat.

We bought load of topsoil and we fill up the holes as they dig them. Just another way to exercise thanks to the Huskies!
