Digging

Siberian Husky owners do not often describe beautiful landscaping in their yard, moonscaping maybe.

Digging is a natural behavior and cannot be stopped in many Siberian Huskies. It is best to create an area where the dog can dig and supervise the dog in areas where digging is not appropriate. A sand pit can provide a good area to dig. For some dogs, burying its feces in the holes will prevent digging in the same location.

For the Siberian Husky, digging along the fence line will be the greatest issue of concern. It can take just a minute for an eager Siberian to dig out from under a fence. It is best to walk the fence line and look for signs of digging on a regular basis . Fill fresh holes with feces and cover them with the loose dirt to discourage digging in the same spot.

Chronic digging problems along the fence may require reinforcement. Stepping stones or pavers, gravel, wire mesh, and railroad ties along the perimeter may help. Burying the fence will also slow the potential for escape.
