Gaoler 83 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hello All, All of a sudden my 8 year old Lab Bitch is digging holes all over my garden! She has never done this in the past ever but all of a sudden there are holes everywhere! It is more after having a pee, she just stands there for quite a while shredding the lawn to pieces, then even turns around and diggs a bit more. Any advice welcome, I love my dog but also love my garden (put a lot of time and effort into it), if I cannot stop it she is on a chain at the bottom of the garden. Thanks John... Quote Link to post
forest of dean redneck 11,735 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 has she been neutured? when was last season, ive kept dogs on a chain to keep sexs seperate and to stop them jumping a 6 ft boundary fence. but to do it at that age will depress the dog in my opinion.

She was neutered from a pup before her first season. Never dug holes before, caught her tonight digging again, going 'hell for leather'. Total mystery to me!! Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 is she bored and just discovered the pleasures of digging? does her personality change when she is digging? by that i mean does she appear distressed, slavering and a bit blank in her eyes? is she fixated on digging or can you stop her with your voice?
