How to Keep a Dog From Sprinklers

Many dogs love to dig in the yard or garden. This also means digging up the sprinklers. While this may be fun for the dog it causes problems for the humans. Although it may be difficult to keep a dog away from the sprinkler it is possible using a variety of methods on a consistent basis.

Instructions

Supervise the dog when he is in the yard or garden. By watching the dog you can keep him away from the sprinklers.

Shout "no" loudly whenever the dog approaches the sprinkler. In time this trains the dog to stay away from that spot.

Reward the dog when he follows your commands. If the dog stops when you tell him no and follows other commands such as "come here" or "stop" give him a dog treat to reinforce the good behavior.

Scatter the thorny parts of holly or rose trimmings around the sprinkler. Dog won't like getting these thorny particles in their paws. This keeps them away.

Turn the sprinkler on when the dog is near it. A spray of water will surprise the dog and perhaps train him to stay away from the sprinkler.

Sprinkle ground pepper or chili powder around the sprinkler. The smell of these spicy powders will keep dogs away.

Spray a commercial dog repellant around the sprinkler. These sprays use odors that dogs don't like so the animal avoids the sprinkler.
