Q
How can I keep our one year old Bichon off my flower/ shrubs? She plays in it and has pulled out most of the black underlay plastic and the stones are everywhere, I will have to re-do the bed again but how can I keep her away from it?
A
To your dog, a flower bed is like a playground, and it’s hard to stop her from enjoying it. A barrier of some kind is the only easy answer, such as a low type of fence to keep her out of it. You should also give her toys to play with when out in the garden; the best type are food-releasing toys like Kongs or K9Connectables.
