Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

The title says it all...is it true? I saw it earlier on the forum and thought I'd ask. I don't mind the digging, but my hubby isn't a fan and we are in base housing. If there was a way to minimize it for now that would be nice. Would also explain why the neighbors put straw down for their goldens.

I would be interested if anyone knows the answer.

My dogs leave the yard looking like swiss cheese.

I had read it somewhere on the internet as well. Straw is cheap so I figured it would be worth a try, I don't think I need to do it right when I bring Malfoy home (I don't see him digging any deep ruts for at least a week) My goal is to get it done by a week after he is here. If you haven't found an answer by then I will post a follow up of how it is going so far for me.

My pups dig in the mulch in a couple of places in the back yard. I guess I am wondering if straw is different than mulch.

My girls love digging in the mulch mounds in our backyard. I think they like it more then the dirt.

My pups have straw in their dog house as insulation, and Jade loved digging and burrowing in it. but that may just be her.

But i have never seen her dig through the straw if it was on the ground outside, she only digs around in it in her dog house.

we put straw down in the area fenced in for the dogs when it gets rainy and muddy out. they love it, rolling in it, making piles and digging and jumping.
