 Digging holes
Got a five year old male black lab, can't stop him from digging holes in the yard. Any suggestions?

 Re: Digging holes
That's just the nature of a lab but I'd think if ya put an e collar on him and popped him with it each time u caught him in the act of digging a hole he should stop.

 Re: Digging holes
Keep a bucket of mud handy and make your kids go fill the holes…..

 Re: Digging holes
Take him hunting every morning and wear him out. Best behaved dog around is the one that is sleeping.
Joking aside, is he bored? Do you exercise him? I find my dogs are only destructive if I have not run bumpers with them in a day or two.

 Re: Digging holes
My lab only digs holes when it gets cold. This is balls up in the hole to keep warm. Maybe yours is doing the same.

 Re: Digging holes
I don't have a lab but mine use to dig holes here or there in the yard. I got smart, went to the store and picked up a pooper scooper. I make my rounds in the yard picking up his crap and started filling his holes with it. After about a week, he no longer digs in the yard. Two birds, one stone

 Re: Digging holes
I've found poop in the holes works well with my dogs.

 Re: Digging holes
Poop in holes is what I've heard works best.
