Digging problem

[JLsTyee]

I have a 4 year old female black lab. I would put her up against any bird dog! She is amaizing! But she has a bad digging problem. She is tearing up my back yard, and I don't know how to get her to stop. Any suggestions?

Dogs tend to dig and chew when they are bored. Maybe you need to get her some more excercise? If that doesn't work hide out with an e-collar and zap her when she starts digging.

The old school dog guys will tell you to let the dog dig a big hole, then fill it with water and drag the dog over to it and stick it's head in until it panics. You'd probably go to jail for stuff like that nowdays though.

Retrievers will dig. Birds fly, fish swim, and retrievers dig. And they will do so particularly on hot days, trying to find some cooler dirt to lay in.
