I have roses in my yard and my dog is digging up the roses?

How do I stop my dog from digging up the roses to hide his bones?

If you want to try something cheap, try taking moth balls and grinding them up, then sprinkle around the bushes. Most dogs do not like the scent and will avoid digging, although it doesn't work for all of them. If it does work for yours, keep enough extra on hand until your dog is no longer interested, or until the rose bush is large enough to take care of itself.
Reply:I saw a program on HGTV before about this; it suggested to put wire mesh around the bushes and then cover it with soil to hide it. When the dog digs around the area it would stop in its tracks because of the wire mesh that would not allow him to dig any deeper. Try it and see if it works.
Reply:you fence in another area for the dog
Reply:Put pepper or chilli around them. Thet will stop him. Otherwise, consider chicken wire. Buy him more toys, walk him more or spend more time with him teaching him that that is naughty.
Reply:Dogs make excellent fertilizer, especially for roses
Reply:there is this liquid made for dogs. (i think apple cider) you pour it on the thing you want your dog to stop chewing and it works becasue it tastes nasty to dogs. even to my little sister......
