It’s called a “fence”…Huskies DIG…that is what they do in the snow to stay warm…and in the hot weather, they are looking to cool down.

Answer #2

there is a spray called “yuck’ which is especially for dogs to teacher them to stop bad habits like that. or you can take lamon juice and put it in a spray bottle, when ever he diggs or does something he isnt aupposed to. spray his mouth with it. it cured my dog the second time I sprayed him. amd its not harmful at all

Answer #3

They make spray stuff, to stop dogs from chewing on things. It tastes bad and smells really bad to dogs, but not so much humans. You could look into that and spray it around the tree, its plant safe, or some of it is. That’s how I trained both my smaller dogs to not chew up my shoes, and power cords!
