We're giving them a sand box to dig in instead. Any idea what I should use to keep them interested in it, but that won't stink like the devil? Thought about a drop of Backbreaker in each corner. Thanks.

The Cats will crap in the sandbox and the Dogs will roll in it and eat it. LOL Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

If they have a job to do they will burn off some of that excess energy as well as give them something to focus on. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I found it also helps to throw the dirt in their face and shove their head in the hole. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

While home, I bury weak little rat traps (usually an old Victor 1.5 single long) where she was digging. A few of those and voila. The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. www.derricks-nm.com

When you clean the dog crap out of the yard fill in the holes with it, my dogs are diggers but they wont dig through their own feces. Not sure why it works but it works for me. I usually fill the hole most of the way with dirt, stop a couple inches shy of the top and place a layer of turds then top with dirt. I don't know if there is a way to make them dig in a certain spot like your sandbox though. If you have enough from cleaning up the yard fill the hole in with more turds, if we have more I fill with more. Last edited by Hobbs; 05/17/18 06:17 PM.

I've done that on the perimeter of the kennel and the dog's don't dig out that's for sure. Allan
