Many DOGS love to dig holes, and some breeds were even designed for it. If you own a pug and have a yard, at some point you're likely to run into this problem. So how do you keep a pug from digging holes and making a mess of everything? Here are some quick tips that may help you get to the bottom of this problem.
While most dogs shed, poodles are actually incapable of shedding. That fact makes them excellent house pets, since they don't get the furniture covered in fur. Also, due to the nature of their fur and the fact that they do not shed, most people with dog allergies aren't allergic to poodles.
Possible reasons your pug may be digging:

Try giving your pug a lot of exercise. Pugs who burn off energy are far less likely to dig then ones who are excited. This will solve the problem most of the time. Also, pay attention to see if there's a specific time they are doing this. Some pugs just like to be helping out, so if you're digging holes in a garden, they think they're just lending a helpful paw! And if this is due to looking for a mate, but you don't want the problems of puppies, you should look at getting your pug fixed.
