    Well that is a hard one, first of all dogs love to play and rummage maybe you should have one area for the dog to go to Fenced off with a gate, train him or her to use that area but if you mean the dog is fouling the area well that's simple either put in a dog loo and train it to use it , or take him or her out at regular intervals you will get to know when the dog generally does their business so you take it out just before he does it
    they learn very quickly. However if the dog is doing thing like digging holes or plants up you can try this method, get a small tin with a seal able lid put a few screws or nails into it, make sure it rattles when shook. seal the lid so it does not come free.

    when you see the dog doing something you dislike or doing wrong throw the tin

    towards the dog so it lands beside the dog and shout firmly the dogs name and say with a commanding voice no  your dog will get use to it and will stop doing what ever you do not want him to do . DO NOT THROW IT TO HIT THE DOG.

    I trained my German Shepperd and a staffy and have no problems once they got to learn no means no.  image

    Joyce, I think you should start a new thread for your question. No one will know otherwise. This is a very old thread and some of the people on it are no longer here and the title doesn't mention aquilegia seeds.

    Hi everyone image just dropping in & introducing myself, i'm new to the forum & have been bitten by the gardening bug this year so i'm a total newbie so please be gentle image.

    My name is Warren & stumbled in to gardening this year when i thought i'd have a go at planting four different strains of chilli, anyway they germinated, when the weather warmed up i put them outside in a cheapy pop up greenhouse with zip up cover. I had some spare shelves so planted more seeds of different veg, these also germinated & the little greenhouse was full in no time.

    I then went the whole hog & shelled out on a proper quality greenhouse where everything is thriving & i'm buzzing from the experience. I love spending time in there & will be dropping in to the forum for advice & general chit chat from now on so speak to you all soon.
