To stop your Pug from digging in the yard, first understand the cause—it could be boredom, hunting for smells, or trying to stay cool. Provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation with toys, walks, or playtime to tire them out. Create a designated digging area, like a sandbox, where they’re allowed to dig, and reward them for using it. Block access to their favorite digging spots with barriers or landscaping. If digging is due to heat, ensure they have a shaded, cool area to relax. Be consistent with redirection and avoid punishment, as it can confuse them. Patience and engagement are key!
