How do I stop my dog from digging holes in the garden?
My dog sleep outdoors because my parents wouldn't let her sleep indoors. She's always in the yard. Recently she's been digging many holes in our garden. How do I stop her before she completely ruin our garden?
I live in Malaysia. There are no dog parks here. My country isn't big on dogs so many big parks here dogs are not allowed. My neighbourhood isn't dog friendly either. When I walk my dog many people gawk at me. I even got scolded for passing by someone house twice. Anyway, will getting her a new toy help?

How can I get my english mastiff to go up stairs.?
Our mastiff used to sleep with us. Just moved to a two story and he will not go up the stairs. Tried putting treats all the way up the stairs and he will get as many as he can reach without going up the stairs. At night he stands at the stairs and cries when we go to bed, but will not venture up the stairs.
What to do with our German Shepherd puppy during the day?
We have a 7 week old german shepherd and she has generally been a great dog so far. The only problem is I work during the day and my wife works 3 nights a week as a nurse. So we don't know what to do with the dog during the day. She's fine in her crate at night but by 7 am she's is ready to be out and she cries the whole time if we put her in there. My wife has to sleep during some days so what should we do?
Those of you that follow the current trend in dog raising are clearly off base which makes it hard to consider your answers. Regardless of the popular opinion, there is still argument as to when the best time to get a puppy is. Many argue that it is more difficult to housebreak a dog at 10-12 weeks. Our vet who has 30 years experience says it is fine. Socializing the dog is key and that needs to be done regardless of the age and can be done regardless of the age.
As for our schedule, it actually works out fine past these beginning weeks. The dog is fine at night as we take it out like anybody else would. My wife has 4 full days off a week which is way more than most and the days that she sleeps she wakes up at 2-3 and I come home for lunch to let the dog out and play with it.
My questions was simply what to do with her for the 4 hours shes alone which compared to other dog owners, probably most of you included, is rather short. I apologize for not being clearer before.
