QuestionI have 3 Huskies, I recently moved into a new house, here is my problem. All three have decided to dig out on a daily basis, sometimes twice a day. They are chipped and wear many tags with their names and contact #'s. Thank god for great animal loving neighbors who keep an eye out for them. What can I do to stop this, and why all of a sudden are they doing this? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AnswerWhy are they doing this - probably just because they are Siberians and have decided (most likely from learning from one of them) that this is a fun activity.
YOur best bet - deter digging with an electrical fence. Not necessarily radio fences, but rather an electrical hot wire (as in cattle fences). Mule Hollow Fence Supply has a pet grade charger and a relatively cheap set up. I picked up enough wire and insulators to run about 1/4 mile of fence (and I needed about 1/3 of that!) for less than $90. After one or two shocks and the dogs won't be digging out.
Check into that and they can help you with the specifics of the design, but I find that works the best. Feel free to write back if you have additional questions.
