• Discussion Fanatics

    Vinegar is a smell dogs strongly dislike, so it can discourage them from digging in your yard. Vinegar can be unhealthy for plants, so do not spray it directly on your lawn or garden. When they are dry, cut the filters into thin strips and scatter them around your yard to keep dogs from digging in that area.

    Digging Deterrents

    • Partially bury rocks (flat ones in particular) in noted digging spots.
    • Bury plastic chicken wire or netting just under the surface.
    • Citrus peels, cayenne, or vinegar may wrinkle that nose.
    • If you have a sprinkler system, a motion sensor method can be a good deterrent.

    Subsequently, question is, why is my dog digging holes? Dogs may dig because of a predatory instinct or they may be digging to bury bones or toys. This is instinctual behavior designed to hide food from other predators. Digging may also be part of a nesting instinct, particularly if your dog is pregnant.

    Furthermore, what smells deter dogs from digging?

    Vinegar and citrus oil are two things you can spray to stop your dog from digging. Commercial dog repellent sprays are also available.

    Does vinegar keep dogs away?

    A highly concentrated mixture of vinegar and water -- one part vinegar to five parts water -- can provide you with an odor deterrent that many dogs will steer clear of. The sour taste can also deter dogs from chewing.
