Dogs have been called man’s best friend. We love them as family members, like children or even grandkids. We spoil them, lavish them with toys, and talk to them like they understand our most profound problems, and well, perhaps they do. Like kids and grandkids, dogs can make messes and cause trouble around the house; one of these problems is digging under the fence.

This post will look at solutions to breaking your dog’s habit of fence digging. Before getting out tools or hiring a fencing company, some practical considerations include ensuring your dog gets plenty of attention, play, and exercise, which will mean they’re less inclined to dig due to boredom or excess energy.

Ways to stop your dog’s digging habit:

Install a dog fence specifically designed for dogs and deters digging. Check out our website’s Dog Fences available from Superior Fence & Rail. https://www.superiorfenceandrail.com/fence-types/dog-fence/

Bury chicken wire under fencing; face sharp edges outward in case your dog tries to dig to prevent scrapes.

Bury the bottom of your fencing a foot or two.

Anchor chain-link fencing material on the ground near the bottom of the fence deters dogs from walking near the fence.

Bury some large rocks partially along the bottom of the fence line or buy commercial products to shield digging attempts.

Make your dog a digging area. It will look like a child’s sandbox. Fill it with sand or loose dirt. It’s fun to bury dog toys and chew bones for your pet. Train him by rewarding him when he digs here instead of the fence.
