Must be a mad house with three terriers to contend with :lol: Could you try and give her her own space just for digging? I read that you could have a sand pit (they love digging in sand) and praise her for digging in there instead... :err: You could also try distracting her while she's doing it, and praise her for stopping :) Hope this helps a little!

You will struggle to stop it, so as others have said, giving them a dedicated area seems best. Saves your lawn, plus you get to build sand castles if you fancy too!! LOL. Early Learning Centre do some that are shell shaped and have a lid, so you can close it off when not in use. Also means it gives all three a place to bury their treasures
