Things You'll Need
- Railroad ties (7 inches by 9 inches by 8.5 feet)
- Shovel
- Measuring tape
Instructions
Determine where you want to place your railroad ties; you should place them in the areas where you do not want your dog to dig. Measure the area and determine how many railroad ties you will need to use to block off the area. The number of ties you use will depend on whether you choose to use a single tie in each location or if you want to stack them.
Use your shovel to dig a hole deep enough and long enough to bury your railroad ties either partially under the ground or completely, depending on your preference.
Lay your railroad ties in your hole and then use your shovel to partially or fully bury them, depending on your preference. The railroad ties will create a sturdy, difficult to avoid barrier for your digging dog.
