Is your dog a digger and ruining your newly planted garden? If so, you may want to create a spot away from the garden especially for him or her. A weekend project will help your dog with the urge to dig and let your garden grow.
First, locate a shady area in the yard that is away from your gardens. You can purchase a large child’s sand box or build one from wooden planks. Make sure the sandbox is large enough for your dog to lie down and spread out. After you determine the size of the wooden box, a local hardware store can help you determine what you need. You may want to line the wooden sandbox with landscape fabric to keep down the weed population. Fill the box with sand. Keep the sand moist so the dog has a cool spot to lie down.
Introduce your dog to the sandbox by hiding a few toys in it. Make it a game so she learns to use it as her play area. On a hot summer day, you will probably find your dog in the shady, cool sand box! Now everyone can enjoy the garden.
