DID YOU KNOW?
Today’s dogs—as well as wolves, foxes, coyotes and jackals—are most likely direct descendants of the Tomarctus, which roamed the earth 10-15 million years ago. Tomarctus had good speed and excelled in running down their prey. Their teeth and skull were very similar to those of modern canines. Tomarctus fossils have been found at various locations in the U.S., from the Mohave Desert in Arizona, to Nebraska and Florida.
HELPFUL HINT
In a recent survey, 83 percent of dog owners said that their dogs dug holes. Although digging is a normal activity of dogs, it’s ranked in the top 10 of most annoying behavior problems. Dogs dig for many reasons: Out of boredom, when they’re stressed or lonely, to get away from or into the house, as an instinctive breed behavior, or simply to keep cool. To stop your dog from digging, pay attention to what he’s trying to tell you. Ignoring the digging while giving positive reinforcement for good behavior generally is the best approach. You can also try barriers, such as filling the hole with water or rocks, fencing or safe repellants. If all else fails, talk with your veterinarian.
