Is that true? Do we really teach our dogs to dig? Maddie digs while she plays. My husband and I live in an apartment and have nothing to dig in. In that case how would she explain Maddie when she digs? I always assumed it was a natural instinct.  |
That trainer is soooo wrong! Tucker has been a digger since the day we got him. He hasn't EVER seen us dig. My other dog does not dig. Tucker even trys to bury things in my bed. (Ok, he's not a genius, but he is a digger!)
