Just looking for any advice any of you might have. I have a large munsterlander, she is almost 18 mos old so not a pup but not quite adult either, great dog, no real issues with training, hunting, family or otherwise. My problem is we recently had some new sod put in our back yard and she repeatedly digs up a couple of spots, ruins the sod, and makes a hole, it has also happened on a breeze mix path but that is becoming packed so it is harder for her. Any tips on stopping the digging either with the dog or something to put on the grass to deter her. Thanks in advance.

Not sure how well this would work for outside use but I've used them inside and they work pretty well. If the digging is happening in one spot you could fix it and put one of these down.

Does the dog dig a hole and lay in it.? If so, it is doing it to stay cool.
My wife threaten to have all my dogs de-clawed like a cat, if they didn't quit digging up her flower bed. Well my dogs still have toe-nails and there aren’t any flowers in the flower bed. For me it’s a win-win situation, we don't spend any money planting flowers, I don’t have to weed the flower beds and the dogs get a place to lie where it's cooler.
