Message: [QUOTE="dirty~d~, post: 621586, member: 30241"] No need to use electric fencing or permanent fencing... Give her an alternative place to dig and lay. Then fence off the landscaping until she stops even trying to go in there. Once she is using 'her spot' all of the time then take the fencing down and see how it goes. Dogs don't do things to misbehave so why 'punish' her with electricity? Positive reinforcement sinks in a lot better. ;) My latest dog Skipper (husky/chow) was a handful. He has no regard for rules and if he ever had a conscience to begin with he probably ate it LONG ago. He was doing the same thing to the gardens that your dog is doing... digging them up to lay in cool, fresh dirt. We fenced them off and gave him a new spot to dig up. He hasn't tried the gardens since. Now if we could only get the dang cats to follow the same rules. :think: [/QUOTE]
