we will continue to 'garden under stealh' and yes, I think it's flipping hilarious.
Oh good. It's not just me.
My daughter sneaks around with the suitcases when she is going to travel and the dogs are going to the kennel place, but I could not help laughing at the vision in my head of slinking around, maybe using pig Latin in front of the dogs to say "Ets-lay oh-gay ig-day," rolling down all the shades and closing the shutters, and then when you get outside talk about something else so they won't know. "Wow, isn't this interesting working on this car engine?" in a real loud voice...
You guys can all laugh, but the ONLY time I have ever seen my 9 month old puppy dig was immediately after he watched me doing it (I was removing a shrub and digging out the stump). He went to the same place where I had dug, flung some dirt all around, and came up with a root in his mouth. I even have it on video.
So yes, I inadvertently taught my puppy to garden.
If I had taken up the hobby of stealth gardening, it wouldn't have happened, but then I wouldn't get to brag about my smart puppy either.

If you train your dog to stop barking when you tell it to, not leave the gate unless you tell it to etc.... it's just training. If someone can't train something as simple as staying in the yard when the gate is open or to shut up when told, then they should get a trainer to help them or get a cat, lol. It's basic obedience.............
Robbin,
Obedient is obedient, if you have a dog that doesn't listen under distractions (in heat female) just back up in your training. My trainer has said to me a bunch of times "it's okay to back up in training" or words to that effect. As far as yard or house work goes, i hide nothing from my dogs . Maybe we just have a difference of opinion what an obedient dog is and that's fine too. Oh yeah, if i wasn't there they'd act like dogs, that's why they're not outside unattended and if they dig a hole i just fill it back in, the puppy has dug a monster hole, it's gonna be hot tomorrow so i'll fill it with water and really let'em have fun , no biggie,

when did the puppy dig the hole? Apparently, he was, at some point, left unattended.
I've watched Cujo dig holes before. It's pretty funny to watch. It all depends where the dog is digging a hole. My dogs dig holes in the pea gravel in their kennel run every once in a while too. Other than mixing dirt with the gravel and looking like a god awful mess till I hose it down, it doesn't bother me.

About the gate thing...
Well, before I moved, we had a farm welded wire pen out back for the dogs. {In-law's that we were living with didn't want them in the house} Even though the rain had washed the dirt on the hill away to the point that in three minutes or less they could have dug out under the fence on a side that didn't have the gate, they spent an extreme effort to dislodge the cement bottomed chain link post that the gate fastened to so that they could escape by opening the gate. When I was living with my parents they were indoors (no yard fence so outside with people and leads only) and couldn't understand why that was no longer acceptable.
