Your dog loves to check out your backyard, and your garden tends to be one of her favorite spots. However, you wish she would leave this area alone, as she tends to dig in places she shouldn’t. How can you stop her from doing this?

To your pet, the garden is simply a part of the backyard. She needs to know that she isn’t supposed to go in there, as this may act as a deterrent for her. Offer her supervision while she is getting used to this, since it will take some time. Offer her other things to do outside of this space by placing toys and activities around other places in your yard. If your pet is still heading into your garden, try blocking her from doing so with a barrier, like a fence. Your local Livonia, MI vet can offer additional guidance.
