A very bad and annoying habit of an otherwise beloved dog is when it constantly digs up the garden. It is often a favourite part of the garden that the dog defaces again and again.

 

Scolding and scolding leave the dog rather untouched, because digging is in his instinct.

 

To stop the dog from digging up the garden permanently, you have to make his favourite spots unpleasant. Dogs have a very keen sense of smell, so the most effective way is to cover the garden with something that your dog's nose doesn't like at all. This could be a bar of strong-smelling soap or a piece of room freshener that you crumble up and spread around the garden. It is best to test the bar of soap or room freshener beforehand and let the dog smell it to test his reaction.
