(Quick Answer) Why Does My Dog Bury Things?

Dogs love to! It's a common dog method to save an item for later use and a great way to burn some mental and physical energy. The best thing you can do about this is to provide your dog with digging outlets. You can allot them a specific digging zone in your backyard. Or you can encourage them to do it at a playground where there's sand, or at a park if there's an area where it's okay to dig the dirt there. Additionally, you can also try some of my DIY indoor enrichment activities, not only to help your dog burn energy in general but also because some of these activities will encourage your dog to dig indoors (mostly inside a cardboard box with towels/snuffling items).
