Cynthia on Jun 26, 2013Some people use chicken wire and training, but it will take some time. I hope someone has a faster remedy.Helpful Reply

Catherine Smith on Jun 26, 2013Training is the answer for this problem. At a year, the dog is still basically a puppy. You can pick a spot where you want him/her to go, use a leash and take him/her to that spot. Reward that behavior with lots of praise and pets and an occasional treat. It will take a little while, but the dog will learn that's "their" potty spot. Firmly correct digging in the beds with no in a sharp voice, and move the dog. If this is a large dog, use a leash, until he/she gets the point. Again, always reward the behavior you're looking for with lots of praise and pets. Dogs really just want to please you, so it becomes a win-win situation for both of you. I have 5 Boston Terriers, who are all "diggers" and we were able to train them not to do that.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jun 26, 2013I'm with Catherine. Training is the answer. This is not something you can "spray away."Helpful Reply

Kris Lee on Jun 26, 2013Training is what I am trying to do, however, it is the daughter's dog, not mine so she is only there occasionally and the training on her end is not consistent.Helpful Reply
