Not all breeds of canines dig. Sure they may dig a bit to get to a treat or to make a nice dirt spot to take a nap in, but they may not dig up your yard. Some dogs just like to dig up the yard to find whatever is buried beneath. Dogs may also dig to find small rodents that they’ve seen go underground. There are other reasons for digging in dogs as well. Some dogs may excessively dig as a way to relieve pain. This means excessive digging could be medically related so definitely consult with your vet. Other reasons for digging include boredom. Some dogs just don’t know what else to do so they dig to keep busy and to pass the time. Dogs that do this may stop digging if they have more interaction time with people.
