How to get a Labrador Retriever to stop digging
Labradors enjoy being outdoors! They simply have fun being out of the house and engaging in some playful activity. However, owners may find their yards turned upside down when they get home and often wonder why their dog had done such thing.
Let’s examine why and how digging can be stopped. Labradors would dig for several reasons: They crave attention as it needs human interaction, they are hungry and are looking for food. They would like to go beyond their boundaries, and look for a cool and comfortable spot. Each reason would lead to the destruction of your yard as well as the dog being undisciplined.
Solutions are: make sure enough quality time is given to the dog to satisfy their need for attention, bury their food in areas and train them to dig on that spot, extending the fence into the ground to snuff out any hope of getting through and lastly, provide a cool spot where they can rest when they are left outside.
