My 9 month old Akita chewed and dug her way out of my yard tonight. How do I discourage her from doing this?

Answer 1

Dug a trench around the perimiter of your fence about 12" deep, and bury horse wire down that deep, and then attach it to the fence above ground, Once she realizes that digging won't get her out, she'll stop. Black and CAyenne pepper sprinked on the spot(s) she likes to dig in, wil lhelp dter her, but the BEST way, is to catch her at it and start yelling, NO! NO! NO!

Answer 2

Put a board over where she dug and put a heavy flower pot or something on it. If she tries it again, tell her NO! in a very stern voice and procede to tell her that it was wrong to do that (in the same stern voice). If this continues, you could either put up an electric fence or put your dog on a lead.

(Lead; a rope/ leash attached to a stake in the ground and to the dogs collar that keeps them in a certain area.) ^-^

Answer 3

Now is a great time for obedience classes or you may have to invest in a collar and train her yourself. THere are many books out there on dog training. She's at the right age.

Answer 4

I hope ur talking about a dog.

Where the dog chews and digs, get some really horrible tasting, non-toxic liquid and throw it there, dogs learn pretty quickly this way.

Answer 5

pet co and pet smart carry "bitter apple" that you spray where you don't want them to go.you can also put hot pepper powder down where she is digging. it should give her discomfort in the eyes nose and mouth so she wont go back to it. you can also try an invisible fence, I have never tried one but i have heard they work great .good luck

Answer 6

you need to do something while it's still young..i don't know anything about your yard so i'll just say put some boards along the fence..

Answer 7

Do not leave her out when you can't supervise her.

Answer 8

no clue.....sorry
