Our Jack Russel pup, about 8 months old now, love to dig up the sprinkers in the garden. She only does this when the sprinklers are on as far as i know.
For the last weeek I tried putting the sprinklers on at night, as about 3 am hoping she would be asleep. But alas no, she wakes up and goes and pulls all the sprinklers out. (the dog sleeps in the laundry that has a doggy door)
The only other thing I can think of doing is putting them on and making sure she is locked inside, but this could get hard to manage, seeing as we may not be home everytime.
I have also tried putting the sprinklers on when I am around and when she goes near them I tell her no, which she responds to. As soon as you tell her no, she stops and watches them, but you know she wants to go in an bites them.
Is this something she will grow out of??
I was told I could use pepper around the area, or tie balloons to the sprinkers. Has anyone had experience with this working??
Thanks
Ian
