The puppy may be burying food or sharpening its claws, or it may be because the puppy is bored and wants to release its emotions in this way. It is recommended that pet owners first check whether the puppy's nails are too long at home. If it is because the nails are too long and scratching the ground, the nails need to be trimmed appropriately. If the puppy digs the ground because it is bored, the owner needs more companionship.

1. Burying food

Dogs are born with the habit of burying food. If there is food that they cannot eat or something they like very much, they may want to hide it from others, thus Digging behavior is normal. In addition, animals with a sensitive sense of smell, such as dogs, once they smell the smell of a certain place and become curious, they will also want to dig something out of the ground, so they will dig the ground.

2. Nail grinding

If the dog’s claws are not trimmed regularly, they will continue to grow. Because the nails are too long and uncomfortable, the dog will scratch the ground. Grind them off to prevent your nails from getting too long and affecting your normal walking. Therefore, owners must trim their dogs’ nails regularly to avoid problems such as inconvenience in walking, toe injuries, joint deformation and other problems caused by excessively long nails. Generally, the nails of the forelimbs are trimmed once a week, and the toenails of the hind legs are trimmed once every 2-3 weeks.

3. Boredom

When a puppy feels bored, he will also start digging on the ground to release his emotions. There is actually no special meaning at this time. The owner only needs to play with the dog in time. Of course, he can also prepare more toys for the dog to play with.
