We love our pets, yet they don’t always act like perfect little angels. Sometimes they are naughty and dig up your yard or garden, do their business on your floor or carpet, or destroy a pillow or dog toy like Rosie did in the picture above.
Luckily, we have some great solutions you can start using immediately to take care of your problem pet.

Rod Wheeler wrote to us about his product called Dig Defence for dogs with digging problems. This fence extender helps keep your pets in and keep predators out.
You can easily install this spiked panel right in front of your fence. Even if your dog continues to dig, they’ll just find themselves face to face with more fence.
The fence is built to give you a lifetime of service with no maintenance and no wasted energy costs. At the time of publishing, this product had over 1,800 global reviews on Amazon with 71% of consumers giving it 5 stars.

You can also use an outdoor invisible fence to help with dogs that tend to run away. If you’re nervous, your pet may try to run into the street or out of the garage when you’re not looking, these invisible lines work through a control center you can set up discreetly somewhere like a garage.
Once set up, you can set the boundaries and have your dog wear the collar that comes with the fence. As long as the collar is on, the fence will emit a slight humane shock that doesn’t hurt your dog but instead helps to train them not to run outside a certain area. PetSafe has another great option for outdoor fences, and at the time of publishing, this product had over 12,500 global reviews with 71% giving it 5 stars.

If you’re dealing with a dog who barks way too much, try a vibration collar. It will help distract the dog wearing it by sensing they’re about to bark and triggering a vibrating response to stop them.
We recommend the Vsezund Dog Training Collar because it comes with 3 safe and humane dog training modes, including beep, vibration, and static. It comes with a remote that has a safety lock, efficiently preventing your dog from unnecessary punishment. It also has a rechargeable and long-lasting battery life.
The receiver will last for 11-15 days after being fully charged, and the remote will last for a month. At the time of publishing, this product had over 6,200 global reviews with 79% giving it 5 stars.

You can place it on countertops, on the sofa, in doorways, and near trash cans to teach your curious dogs which areas of your home are off-limits. At the time of publishing, this product had over 2,400 global reviews with 70% giving it 5 stars.
