The dog can lick his own balls

Well, he's got that on me.

Are you just saying that? Or did you actually give it a shot?

It’s not the first time there’s the reference to Hachiko (man, did I cried watching that movie)…but it always amazes me.

We brought recently “Matilde “ to our home, Simon’s (my dog) mother as she is getting old and my father in law was being a bit negligent with her.

That to say that the story made me feel bad as I just reprehended both, as I left them alone today (wife is away) and found 4 big holes in the grass when I arrived home about an hour ago.

Take them into the house.

Give them a treat.

Go out into the yard and fill the holes.

Take them back out and when they start sniffing the fresh dirt, use verbal commands to tell them NO!

If they dig it up again, repeat.

Keep doing it until they understand what it is you want.

BTW, giving them a treat when you come home is not always necessary but, it does get their attention if you are trying to make a point.

Plus they have to have calmed down after you get home. You can't get through to a dog when they are excited or hyper.

Thanks for the tips Malto and Tony. Will try that next time I arrive home and have time to fill the holes right away.

That didn?t happen when Simon was alone. He used to stay a whole day free on your yard without behaving badly. The holes are a consequence of a pack attitude I guess, but there?s also another strong reason, we do have from time to time small moles on our garden? Pretty sure they feel them and try to dig to catch them?

......which makes you lucky.

Moles will find a route that dogs are not involved.

If they are tracking moles, you will need to make sure the varmint has his main tunnel obstructed. Read: Try to block it off where it comes to your property but, allow the dogs to tear up any and all real estate they need to turn him away.

You can replant later when the varmint is gone.

Indeed. Maybe they will sort the moles problem for me...

That’s an up of having quite a few holes in my yard right now, moles decided to find a new place to dig their tunnels…
