She has plenty of bones, stuffed toys, chew sticks, squeaky toys, etc laying around(like 25 different toys), but she gets on these kicks where she wants to eat cardboard.

Feed it cardboard till it gets sick of it. :)


Did you try putting something on the cardboard so that the dog tries it and dislike it due to taste ? Maybe something sour ?

Get it a cat to play with :p. We had birds before we got cats, and my cats just love the birds (especially when they are flying. The cats chase after the birds).

Eh she throws up after eating it. Well, I have some no-dig and no-touch stuff, but she'll steal cardboard off of the counter, my dresser, bed, table... anywhere I leave some. I guess I could NOT leave any cardboard around, but so much stuff has it as part of the backing, and I don't typically throw it away because I reuse it for other things.

It comes in a liquid in a bottle, and you spray it anywhere in your yard where your dog tries to dig. I've used it and she stopped digging on those spots.

Bitter apple works as well.

Not sure if WalMart has it, but I got mine at a pet store.

tabasco sauce

This reminds me of when I used to work in a food service oriented establishment once a long while ago, and we paid one of our cowrkers to eat a souffle cup full of tabasco, A! sauce and Lea and Perrins Worcester sauce. He almost puked it into the sink but he swallowed it so we paid him, but that was some funny sh!t hehe. Ok you had to be there. And you had to knw this guy he was a umm...strange one...lol
