PS: Can't they dig under the earth though?

Thank you.

Yes, they can dig and occasionally they do. But I think it's more of a boredom thing than trying to escape. Especially in the winter when they are not being worked. But it's so cold and the ground is frozen so they usually spend most of their time in their dog houses. The ground here is full of rocks and smaller stones. You can't put a shovel in the earth without hitting a rock. If you have a perfect spot to place an axle, forget it. Most likely you have to move it around a few times until it goes all the way under the ground. I don't even know how the dirt fits in between all the rocks. So the rocks are somewhat of a deterrent but I put heavy flat rocks at the base all along the outside of the kennel panels and that stops them from digging. Actually the biggest problem is not digging, it's barking.
