labradoodle puppies

Question
My two male labradoodle puppies are in the laundry and/or outside while we are at work and at school.  They dig terribly and everything we have tried doesn't seem to stop them digging.  They have now scratched or bitten holes in the mbf walls of the laundry.  Do you have any tips on what we could do to discourage this behaviour?  Thanks.

Answer
Hi, Heather!  Have you tried using interactive dog toys which hold treats similar to this one:  http://www.alphadogtoys.com/dog-treat-dispenser-toys-molecule-ball-medium.html  while the pups are in the laundry room?  They probably need something to keep them busy so that they don't scratch or bite holes.  If that doesn't work, you may want to try keeping them crated when you are away.  Good luck!
