skycat 6,173 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Natural behaviour! Just fence off the part of the garden you don't want her on! Better than always telling her off for doing what is completely natural for a pup. Quote Link to post
Chid 6,519 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 as skycat said. i just left my pup to dig though. couldnt be bothered trying to stop him. mum wasnt happy though when she couldnt see him cause he was in the hole nearly 2 foot deep Quote Link to post
gaz 284 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Play biting,eating shit,chewing furniture ect is also natural puppy behaviour,but you have to curb that aswell with others i could mention,daz try a bit of water mate,you will be suprised how quick your pup catches on its a no no,ive done it with many a pup with no need to put up fences and the like...but each to their own i suppose Quote Link to post
