My dog keeps digging holes in her bed. What can I do to stop it?

Question

How to stop her from digging holes in her bed. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 24 days old | 4.2 lbs

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

Digging in bed is a natural instinct and not a sign of misbehavior. In the wild, dogs have the instinct to hide in comfortable, protected areas when they sleep. You could try to redirect the behavior when you see her digging in her bed or try to find an indestructible dog bed that she can't put holes in it when she digs. Maybe also put blankets over her bed that she is allowed to dig in to satisfy her natural instinct of digging.
