In Reply to: Beagle Puppy Digging Motions !! posted by piperstar on November 22, 2002 at 01:37:25:

:Hi, I a recent owner of a Beagle, she is 11 weeks old and already she has been showing tremendous signs of her digging ability. She digs everywhere or has that digging motion whether it be on the carpet, in her crate, on someone's lap!! When she gets older, she will be left in my fenced backyard and I do not want to come home with holes everywhere on the groud!
:Can someone give me advice on how to control her digging situation?? I understand it is in her instinct to dig but I do not want her to be clawing everything in sight!
:Thanks a lot!!

:Jay

Hi there Jay.....I had the some problem with mine digging so I made them a Digging Pit....They love it.....I made it with 4 landscape timbers and about 8 bags of topsoil from Walmart....It isnt very expensive....sometimes I take a toy and bury it and tell them to Find It ....and Dig Dig Dig......When they dig somewhere that they arent suppose to I tell them NO NO NO and take them to the digging pit and and tell them to Dig Dig Dig....
Well it workes for us and we have 3 Beagles now.....good luck.... Lynne
