4. Distract: If your dog starts to dig, distract them with a toy or treat.
5. Deterrents: Place deterrents such as chicken wire or large rocks in the areas where your dog likes to dig.
6. Train: Teach your dog commands such as “leave it” and “stop” to help them learn to stop digging.
7. Praise: Praise your dog when they are not digging to reinforce the desired behavior.
