My dogs will not stop digging. We have tried almost everything, they are destroying our yard. Does anyone have any ideas to get them to stop. Please help.

My dog did that the first couple of years, and then he just stoppped. With time, your puppy will grow up.
If all fails, try this:
Bury his own poop and then add water to the hole, then fill it in. If he digs into that hole again, he'd be surprised by what's in it. Do this over and over until he gets it.

First of all, digging is natural sometimes as a means of staying cool. I would suggest buying a childs swimming pool. filling it with sand and while your dogs are watching you, bury some of their toys in the pool. Then they can dig to their hearts content. Be sure to buy a pool with a cover if cats are a problem in your neighborhood.

That's one of the reasons i don't have dogs.
You might make a dog lot in part of your yard and keep them in it most of the time. Then you can make the rest of the yard nice.
Or you could put some shock collars on them, and any time they start to dig, give 'em a jolt.

Place an inflated balloon in a spot that he is likely to dig, he'll freak when he pops it.worked for me.

Some breeds of dogs are just diggers. It's a form of play for them. Hunting prey, real or imaginary.
