Help with Riley's carpet fixation!!!
Hello all,
We have a problem with Riley. He has picked a new and expensive habit. For some sort of reason he has decided to pick on my carpet. Always the same spot. He scratches it to the point where he has managed to lift the carpet up and destroyed about a three square foot area.
We have tried blocking the area by putting a fence up and he has managed to knock down the fence everytime. No idea what to do about it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks everyone

we go through sheets on our bed about one a month as Griz needs to "fluff" where he lays. not so bad on his own bed but his nails get caught on our sheets. And yes i nkow its bad to let the dog on the bed but who can resist those cute eyes and tail beckoning for a petting when your getting ready for work?
my chow digs, on the wall to wall he will dig with one foot and then the other, usually very leasuirely .. dig dig dig, its the same way he digs outside in the yard , he digs a hole , i fill it up with good dirt and plant grass, some day we will get the while front yard reworked that-a-way ..
i suggest in the chosen digging spot on the carpet you get a nice' chow digging on 'rug to put there , in the bedroom there is one of those fake lambswool ones , he will come in from the hardwood floors in the office ,, and dig,, dig dig dig , then when done digging on the lambswool go back to the office on the hard wood to lay down..

Is he stomping around on the spot grunting or is he actually digging in the one spot, if he is digging in one spot and trying to rip it up I agree with Kawani there is something there, maybe not under the rug but under the house. you have had Riley for awhile so if this is new I think a critter has moved in.

Re: Help with Riley's carpet fixation!!!
Let Riley be at her own place, if the carpet is getting dirty and all that, just call some chemdry rapid dry working men and they will make it new again.
