How do you stop your dog from lying on your flower beds?

When a dog misbehaves in you flowers (or anywhere), just put a picket in the ground by where they messed up, reprimand gently but firmly, and tie them on a very short leash for 20 minutes or so. . .Then take them off pointing to the spot, reprimand them again, and pet and love on them leading away from the area.



This works most of the time, but dogs love to dig. . . It's in their nature. You might get them a sandbox and put a few treat bones in it, and dig around with them playing, and they will get to like this spot for fun :) GL!!!

I was having the same problem with my dog and some friendly neighborhood cats. Moth balls did the trick. Just put them all along the flower bed.
Reply:I make Bamboo tee-pees around the plants by poking three Bamboo sticks into the ground and tying them at the top over center of the plant.
