commented question | Needing some help and explanation on Dog digging? She also never chewed on things but recently she ripped up her bedding in her kennel. And pulled the stuffing out. I'm not sure if it's related or not |
asked a question | Needing some help and explanation on Dog digging? My dog is a border collie mix and she is a year and a month. I am in a new yard and she seems to have adapted well but in some of the flower beds and no grass area she is digging about 4 locations. One is near some pipes, one in the flower bed, one near the house in a flower bed and one at the fence. The one near the fence is to try and get to other dogs. My thought is that she is doing it for attention and or entertainment. I have caught her before and she knows she did something wrong before I scolded her. My question is how do I get her to stop? She doesn't like toys because I am too dominant towards her. I go outside and pet her and hangout with her for about 2 hours everyday. Just looking for ideas. |

commented answer | dog wont play with me but will with others? For example with my friend she will mouth on their hands and jump on them but with me she is a very respectable adult dog. It might be with what you said that she sees me as more dominant than them and "respects" me more? |
commented answer | dog wont play with me but will with others? She is not as submissive as you are saying but she does look towards the door when she is playing with others to see if I am at the door. She did have 4 owners/fosters before I adopted her. With me she never jumps on me unless I ask her to she never chews on anything but with them she does all of it |
asked a question | dog wont play with me but will with others? I own a 10 month old border collie. I got her from the pound and have had her almost 4 months. She is a great dog follows me around and sits at my feet. When I see her after being in school she gets really excited and runs around going crazy. I bought her toys but she wont play with them when I am around. My friends can get her to play tug of war and fetch but if I was to walk outside she would stop. I'm not for sure if it is something I have done or a previous owner? Thanks |
