Your dog spends a lot of time in your home, so he is always eager to head outside when he has the opportunity to do so. Why does he try to dig in your backyard?

Your pet needs you to understand that there are a ton of things to explore outside, and he wants to be involved in all of them. This is part of the reason why he enjoys digging. Once he realizes that there is a way to peek under the grass, he will want to see what’s under there. He may also see an insect or rodent head into a hole in the ground, which may make digging even more appealing. Plus, it can be a fun way to burn off some energy without needing any toys. For additional information, please contact your local Crown Point, IN veterinarian.
