·Ok. This is going to sound like a really dumb question (like 'how do I make it stop raining?'), but I'd really like to know what has and hasn't worked for you folks in the past.
I built a 2/3 acre fenced area around the back of our house to give our dogs some room to run and allow them to better watch our property. But now they're digging it up beyond belief. Not just under the fences (which are woven cattle wire with electric fencing on the inside), but everywhere. First they dug out beds to sleep in (since they turn their noses up at the dog houses they used to sleep in), now they just dig anywhere for no reason at all. Can't run my mower through there, can barely walk through there. It used to be a really nice back yard. Now it looks like a B-52 dropped its bomb load on it.
What have you folks done-- successfully or not-- in the past to discourage digging? I'd rather not put them back in their smaller kennel for good, but if that's what I have to do I will.
Thanks in advance,
