dibbz2000 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Exactly as I say, my 2 year old lurcher has decided to take up ploughing my lawn. Any tips for dis-couraging this? He's obident enough and only does it when im not there. I dont think he.s bored its a big lawn he's walked 3 times daily taken out 2/3 nights a week on the lamp and has his toys/chews/bones as always. He's not burying anything just digging random holes..

kent Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Could be stress, but from the sounds of it i suspect he is seeing insects then loosing them in the grass and scatching to find them (observe and all may become clear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul in North Lincs. Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 digging is a very hard habit to cure....I've had loads of lurchers that do it. If you are worried about the lawn, make a decent sized sand pit, fill it, and bury toys and treats in there. If its going to dig, you may as well encourage it to do it where its not going to cause any damage to your grass. I would imagine though that the problem is more down to boredom, or stress/anxiety caused by being alone in the garden with no company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
