My 8 month old male has started a terrible habit of digging! We just completed landscaping and I think the lawn is irresistible after being watered. Maybe the fertilizer smell? I've read in my puppy books that dogs tend to start digging between 8-11 months, so he's right on track. He's started to dig in other areas of the yard as well. And the worst part is he digs even when we're outside with him and he knows he'll get trouble. I don't know if this is just a phase or if he'll eventually, hopefully, grow out of it. I'm thinking of making him his own digging spot but the lawn is his favorite spot. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
