is there a way to prevent a dog from digging in a certain area?

Question

she keep digging up an electric cable

Answer 1

Ground cayenne or black pepper sprinkled on the ground will do the trick. The pepper will have to be replaced every few days or after a rain . Sprinkling moth balls in that area will work as well. After a while the dog will stay away from that area without the deterrents.

Answer 2

Put chili or cayenne pepper on the spot. I'd be careful with the cayenne, though, because my dog was allergic to that. Also, I read somewhere that dogs hate the smell of cinnamon and steer clear of it. It didn't work with my dogs, but that's what I read.

Also, you could try Worcester sauce. It's just a theory of mine, but my dog wouldn't go anywhere near it when I put it down. Then again, I'm learning that my dog is a weird case.

Answer 3

Cover the cable with chicken wire and then rebury. Wait. Dogs won't like trying to dig through that. It will stop them. Good luck.

Answer 4

Spray it with a product called Apple Bitter (pets stores carry it). My dog had chewed 9 pairs of my shoes until I found out about this miracle stuff. They hate the smell and stear clear from whatever it is sprayed on.

Answer 5

Pour a bottle of venegar over the area, and then a box of black pepper.

Answer 6

pour a bunch of chilli powder over the area. That should do the trick.
