Dogs love to dig. Training your dog will keep him off the garden.

Is it the way dogs are at the age of five? My dog is diging the garden at night while we sleeping and it knows very well what it is doing is wrong because in the morning the minute you ask it what have you done in the garden it will run to it's lenell. Any help please any one who can advise in this situation.!!!!!!!

About punishing, it's really no good - it'll only make your dog scared and he will not relate it to the wrong thing he just did. Screaming also won't work, most dogs see their humans as the 'alpha' in their pack, and when you start yelling at them the only thing they understand is something like "our leader has lost it, who will protect us now?". You have to keep an eye on her, stay around and disencourage her on digging the garden. When she starts, say a firm "no" and, if you want to, you can spray a litte water on her face (just a little!) in the exact time she's doing something wrong, always saying NO right before you do this (later she'll relate the NO word to bad things, and will stop, even with no splash of water), and distract her with toys or snacks when she stops digging to positively re-enforce her.

keeping a pet is a big responsibility and if you do not have much free time you need to pick some pet that doesnt need excercise and will be happy to have its own little home , gerbils , hamsters , mice etc. but for the larger pet such as dogs and cats then your attention is of a great importance . dont have a dog if you cant give it time for walks , excercise and not to be left on its own for long amounts of time . Responsible ownership is rewarded with a faithful and loving animal.
