Many animal guardians often become frustrated with their canine companions who dig deep holes in their yards. While this can be simply a playful or nervous habit of many dogs, digging behavior is normal in wild carnivores, because they often bury their prey in order to protect it from predators, and so they can return later and eat it when others are not around.

Many companion animal dogs will also bury bones given to them in the backyard for likely similar reasons. The simplest solution I have found to this problem in my experience is purchasing a small sand pit or child’s play area full of dirt or sand, which a dog will often move towards in digging, rather than digging holes in the garden or grass. By providing such an area, animal guardians will often protect their yards from unwanted damage and holes.
