RDM that's not what I meant about keeping a pup in 27/7.
That post said if all fails keep it in 24/7...Hmmm but that statement is not there anymore.
Trust me,I agree with the part you said about the worst diggers.The ones that are left out long periods of time with nothing to do.I have seen it.
Like I said,I stopped my guys when they were pups.Mind you they really didn't dig much.But it only took them a week to stop.And I was able to leave them out for a while unsupervised at 6 months.I kept an eye on them.They had their balls and toys.And they didn't even try to dig.I let them enjoy the backyard.
Yes it's different when you live in apartment.That I understand.
