Stopping The Mud!
15 Answers
My dog was bringing in loads of mud last year when it rained.
Got some fake grass laid which i thought would stop the problem.
But now he digs in the flower beds! So still causes a mess.
Was thinking of putting down some slate or bark on the beds, do you think that would work? Of any other suggestions?

I had to carry jerry cans of soapy water and towels when I took my last dog in the car to his favorite park. His very favourite thing was rolling in fox poo and worse.
Somed dogs love to dig, it's am instinct. Buen is right, a bit of muck is normal when you have a dog, I like the look of those paw washers.

1ozzy, i spend more time with my dog than most owners i know, but he likes the garden as well as the park and i dont want to stop him enjoying himself for the sake of a bit of mud.
The paw washers will becgood for coming back from the park, but the rest of the day i have my back door open all day so he can run in and out as much as he wants, i dont want to stop that. Just thought if i could reduce the mud it would help.

Sounds like you have a terrier. Even if not, this may help ...

If you aren’t out of breath chasing your little terrier to catch him, you’ll find him going through any landscaping you have. While not all terriers are so bad for it, many are absolutely devoted to digging and hiding. They’ll get into all kinds of manic activities, from digging up increasingly large holes in your grass to parading around the place like a guard dog on steroids!
To help your terrier settle in, look to make it a dig pit. This designated area can make sure that it always has somewhere to dig away in without ruining the rest of the location. This can be absolutely vital for making sure you can avoid the predatory nature of your pet, and it’s love of digging up small animals, can be sated a touch.

Thanks for all your practical replies. bhg- he is very well trained thank you.
I do wipe his paws when we return from the park. But i the sort of owner who has the door open all day so he can come and go to the garden as he likes. I dont want to keep the dood shut and only let him out to do his 'business'and then keep him in.
He loves the garden and i dont want to stop that.
