Digging issue

[Midget]

Its me again:D

My Lovely puppy Ziggy wants to bury her bone. Watching her try to dig up the apartment specially tiles is cute, but i feel bad for her. I dont have a yard or anything(sometimes i thank god i dont) and i dont think the city would like for her to dig up the little grass they have in town.


What to do? (except get it on tape xD)

If your apartment has a back patio you could put a small plastic sandbox in. Either get the kind that are designed to be sandboxes that come with a lid, or get a plastic kiddie pool that you can put sand in.

If you can't do a sandbox, then you can layer some blankets or towels in a stack, and hide her bones and toys and treats and such in between the layers. She will have fun rooting around between the layers to find her treasures. To keep the house neater, you can keep the blankets/towels in a box or laundry basket, and that's her "sandbox." It will keep down on the vacuuming, lol.

Can you fit a wooden box, like a sandpit, into your apartment. Only instead of sand... fill it with scraps of fabric - I would suggest something like vet-bed or similar rather than anything she may mix up with your own clothing/bedding etc, though keeping the digging purely to the box may be a sufficiently clear context for her not to make that error?

Then she can dig adn bury things to her hearts content

Thanks! very good ideas.

I think my apartment is the worst to get a dog,it only has windows.Im gonna try the fabric box thing cause till now i was trying to show her to hide her bone under a some pieces of fabric i have,so putting more fabric in a box will do it!
I'll keep an update

Scrunched up newspaper in a big cardboard box is good for digging in as well
