Friends who raise dogs should have encountered such a situation. When walking, the dog stumbles and runs away, then stops and starts digging the soil. It can make it dirty. Is it helpless? But what should I do if it is so cute? The dog you choose needs to finish crying. Why does the dog need to dig the soil? Let’s take a look with us!

1. Nature

Even people who have never raised dogs should understand that dogs love to dig soil. This is actually a nature and is inherent. For example, hunting dogs can only eat enough and survive if they look for animals in the soil or caves, otherwise they will starve to death!

2. Interests

We humans will also find something to do when we are bored, so dogs will also need items to spend time, so they will use their front paws to constantly dig the soil as the fun of life.

3. Dogs barking and like to bite things. Such things are generally caused by not being well practiced. The dog will not have enough sense of security under restless conditions, so that it cannot find sufficient stimulation, which will give it a way to dig soil to avoid this feeling.

4. Boring

also mentioned boring, because dogs have no things to do, they will use these methods to waste time. In that way, everyone should know that dogs have a very clever sense of smell. During the digging process, they will smell weird or interest them, which will make them more excited. This practice is also because we humans have too little time to wait for them, and they have time or have to wait for their own dogs.

5. Attractive

Dogs are very human. Sometimes people will do something to attract others' attention when they are ignored. In fact, the same is true for dogs. If they do this, you will just follow their intentions because they think that their success has attracted your attention, and then they will become more excited. After that, as long as there is such a situation, they will dig up the soil.
