for many reasons. However, there are also other
problems that are brought to light by the
digging, namely behavioral issues or trauma.

requires your attention and patience. You should
not stop the puppy from digging as it is their
method of releasing tension however you may train
them to control digging if they are inside the
house.

What are the most common reasons that puppies
dig?

- Looking for prey;

- To hide food;

- Nesting purposes especially if your puppy is
pregnant;

- They want the soil to cool them off
specifically if it is too hot;

- Attempting to escape;

- Bored;

digging, it is easier to conduct puppy training
with training aids to solve this issue. You also
need to focus on their behavioral pattern such as
what time does your puppy starts digging; where
they dig; when it stops and other details. Your
puppy's behavior will be easy to correct however
you need to be persistent and patient at all
times.

If your puppy is digging because it is bored then
you need to spend with it and enjoy some fun
activities. There are many games that you could
play that will take away your puppy's boredom
such as catching, fetching, walking, running and
playing. Playing can be more fun if your puppy
undergone basic puppy training like sit, roll and
a few others. Activities help keep your puppy
happy and active, physically and mentally and
this can reduce or even eliminate the daily
boredom thus its digging will be controlled.

When puppies get hot, their instinct is to cool
down their body with dirt as dirt or soil is
cold. Puppy digs and creates a hole in the earth
so that they can release their body heat in the
cold soil. If they are digging inside your home
and tearing off your carpet then you might want
to walk your puppy or let it stay at the backyard
for a while. Make sure that your puppy has plenty
of cool, clean water and a shady area to protect
it from the heat. The assertive calm puppy
training technique should be implemented, let the
puppy stay in that particular area in the
backyard and it can do anything it wants to do,
exempt of course, digging.
