How do you stop a dog from digging holes in your yard?

In: Dogs (Canines), Dog Training, Dog Behavior [Edit categories]

Answer:

If the dog has made a hole, use the dog's own feces (MUST be his/her OWN feces), and put it in the hole. Dogs hate the smell of their own feces and will never dig in that spot again.This is particularly useful if your dog keeps digging in the same spots over and over.
