Unfortunately, my yard is waaay to large for this method. Thanks tho - I think many others benefited.

@keeg021985 A dog will dig due to separation anxiety, becuase it wants attention, or because it has nothing to play with.

God, my dog is smarter than you. That's sad.

I use cayenne pepper in the areas mine frequents.  It only works sometimes.

What a ridiculous notion to bury their feces to get them to avoid digging. That's a old wives tale and is well known among anyone that's tried it that it doesn't work. Ever thought about just building your dog a digging pit or sandbox where he can dig? Dogs dig mostly because it's fun for them or because they hear insects in the ground; rarely because they're 'bored.'

@keeg021985 It worked for my american bulldog pup. He avoids it like the plague.



[keeg021985]

@aquaopa1 Likely has nothing to do with his feces being in there. Do some research on the subject, then comment once you've discovered what the science indicates.

@keeg021985 um I don't need to do research. I am simply commenting on what worked for me. No need to be rude keeg.
