Owning a dog is a joyous feeling but it can quite hectic at times. Dogs can keep you entertained and uplift your mood even if you are exhausted. But they can also create problems for you because of their behavior or habits. One of the most common problems a dog owner may have to face is a digging habit of a dog. Almost all of the dogs have the digging habit. The reasons for a dog to adopt the habit can differ from one dog to another. Some of the most common reasons are as stated below:
Separation Anxiety:
One of the most common reasons in dogs to adopt the digging habit is separation anxiety. If you are not spending time with your dog, he may have developed separation anxiety. He may start digging to stay occupied or even to get your attention.
Because of Boredom:
If your dog has to spend most of the time laying down doing nothing, he may develop the habit of digging. Dogs are active animals and like to stay occupied with various types of activities. If your dog is not getting the exercise he needs and there are no activities to keep him busy, he is likely to start digging your yard to stay busy.
To Hide Valuables:
Dogs are basically wild animals that used to hunt for food. They have a native habit of digging to hide their valuable items. In earlier days, the valuable items were used to bones and meat from their prey. But as they are socialized now, they can dig a hole to hide their toys, chews, food etc.
Cooling Down:
If the weather in your area is hot and there are no proper shades, it is highly likely that your dog starts digging your lawn. He does so because the dirt inside the hole is cooler than the upper soil. He digs up a hole so that he can lay there and cool off the heat. Areas close to water sources, trees, building foundation etc. are the most favorite spots for a dog to dig.
