Digging wholes in the ground is natural to all dogs and Beagles are no exception to the rule. The first thing to consider if digging becomes a issue is why your Beagle is doing it. Using the example of Beagles you must remember that they are very intelligent and might have a motivation to dig.
Look to be sure his or her surroundings are comfortable. She or he may be digging in the hot weather to keep cool in a cozy bed or in the cold weather to make a comfortable whole in the ground to lie in. If you need to make changes to her or his environment to accommodate these urges or needs then you should do so.
Every dog needs a cool spot to rest in during hot weather. The main reason for problem digging is boredom and loneliness. As mentioned, Beagles are very much tied to loneliness and separation anxiety.
When you must leave her or him alone for significant amount of time then be sure to provide her or him with plenty of water, toys and items she or he can chew to engage her or him mentally. There are puzzle toys that release treats when chewed on or played with that will help her or him pass the time of day. Keep in mind that Beagles are active pets and need lots of exercise that will provide her or him with plenty of activity to help keep her or him fit and take away the boredom.
In the instance where a Beagle digs, she or he may just really like digging. If you've taken care of her or his physical needs and she or he keeps digging, it might be that she or he just really has a good time when digging.
Most owners have had success by allotting an area of the yard or making an enclosed sand box with sand and soil to give their digging Beagle an approved spot to dig.
The best training method that you use to insure she or he stays in the right area is to spend time in the yard with her or him. If she or he begins to dig outside the designated territory, tell her or him “No,” in a firm voice. Next pick her or him up and take her or him to the area you want her or him to use.
Get in there and dig a little right along with your Beagle. Praise her or him for digging in the correct space. Continue with this and she'll or he'll get your point. If she or he continues to dig in the wrong places you can use a reverse sensitizing strategy of placing pieces of poo in the holes.
Dogs usually don't want to recreate in close proximity to feces and this will at least keep him out of that area. So, if you want to stop your Beagle Digging, it is up to you to supple the training that is needed.
