I have 2 German Shepherd pups that dig up holes in my lawn at night. I don't know how to solve this problem. Advice?
Full Question:
Hey,I have two German Shepard aged 5 months. My problem is that they dig up holes in my lawn at night when they are outside on our front yard and not in their dens.
I wake up every morning and see these huge holes in my front lawn, I don't know how to solve this problem. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ezzam

The most simple solution is to make a secure area for your dogs where they can not dig. I would recommend that you have a place like a kennel or crate for the times when you can not supervise them. It’s impossible to correct digging if you are not watching the dogs.
The more they practice digging, the more they will continue to do it.
I would then only let them out in the yard where they like to dig when you can watch them and correct them for it. I would probably recommend using an electric collar for interrupting the digging behavior when you can supervise. We like the Dogtra collars.
Electric collar training for the pet owner.
I hope this helps.
