Easy way to curb digging?
So far our new pup is adjusting well (still a lot of rough puppy play). We have a doggie door and she enjoys going in and out of the house throughout the day. Over the past few weeks she's started digging in 2 corners of our yard and honestly isn't too far from digging the fence posts up. So far my best thought was to put a flagstone where she digs. Other than going in and out every time she does, is there anything else you can think of to protect the areas? Worst case scenario is she loses access to the doggie door and gets taken out just when I let her out. I'd like to not restrict her access because she loves the in and out and will spend time in the afternoon just laying on the patio steps enjoying the weather.

Digging is a hard one!
I don't always agree that you should never leave your dog outside unsupervised. I do! I have a fenced in back yard, and I'm not afraid of him getting out at all. Plus our dog LOVES being outside. I will leave him out there (with access to water) for an hour or 2 at a time. I mean I will go to the window and check on him every once and a while. But I always make sure he has something to do (a Kong, chew bone, chew toy, Nylabone). Normally if you provide enough things for your dog to do outside, it should hopefully keep his mind off digging. But truthfully, my dog has a tendency to dig when he gets worked up and excited! Really nothing to stop it.
