| commented question | Why does my dog keep eating her own poop? Many dogs have an instinct to "cover their tracks". Eating their own poop or vomit is a normal dog trait. Many of them grow out if it with training such as distracting them with a treat with a similar consistency, like a banana, after going to the bathroom. |
| commented question | Why does my dog dig holes in my backyard? Dogs also dig holes when they are warm/hot. The dirt is usually much cooler than the air and their instinct is to cool off. . . . Just like in a cave or den. There is also a chance he/she smells a mole or other type of underground creature and is tracking it. |
| answered a question | Why does my dog poop in his crate? The crate should be small enough that if your dog did poop in his/her crate that they could not get away from it. Sounds mean to let your dog hang out in their own waste, but they don't like it and will most likely not do it again. There are separators you can get and move further back as they grow. |
