What do you suggest for keeping digging dogs out of your garden?
+1
We have 4 dogs that like to dig. They even dig in my large pots. I currently have to pot everything and keep them up high so they will leave them alone. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep nice a garden with silly dogs that love it just as much as I do but for totally different reasons? :-)

Train your dog's, plain and simple! I have 6 including one in training. This place would be nothing but chaos if the dogs were not trained. It is a dogs instinct to dig. They just want to please you and receive unconditional love. If your yard is large enough, provide them their own space where it is acceptable to dig. Chances are they are bored or do not get enough exercise. See if this helps.

Pets are a lifelong commitment and they rely on us to do what is best for them. Get everyone in the house on the same page with training. If I can do it, so can you!
Your dog's are bored. Try taking them on walks and being in the yard with them. My husband was in hospital and I stayed with him. Came home next day about a foot deep hole in garden gravel path with gravel spread everywhere.
