Canine-human relations are decidedly strained at the moment. Not content with pulling up and eating multiple raspberry canes, a cranberry, umpteen blackberry plants and a whole apricot sapling, the hound has embarked upon a campaign designed to destroy our new long flowerbed before it is even planted. We are slowly accumulating the plants for said flowerbed here on the smallholding, ready to be put in the border all at once. It’s 45m long and the soil above the chalk is solid, awful clay and so we plan to dig a trench and plant them all at once. 
However, the wretched dog obsessively tracks down anything in a pot and so we are currently dealing with a ludicrous situation where we try desperately to find new places to store said plants in the garden where they’ll be out of her reach. 
Hiding places thus far include in an outdoor playpen, on top of a stock shelter in a paddock and on a bench. We’re running out of space!

When dogs are young they attack all plants…they outgrow it eventually…but it’s tough for gardners in the meantime

Bonnie was a saint. I’m sure she never attacked mummy’s plants?

Maybe liberal doses of cayenne pepper stepped water (and mixed with some dish detergent to help it stick to the plants) will help?
My Great Pyrenees destroyed a young cherry tree of mine this winter. I feel your pain!

Ah now this is a sensible option, I may well try this because frankly we put blood sweat and tears into planting this winter (in HORRIBLE weather) and I’ll be damned if I can cheerfully sacrifice our plants!

My black lab used to love to pick and eat all the black raspberries before I could get to them, and the yellow lab loved to pick and eat tomatoes…just a day or two before they were ripe!

That’s amazing, did they actually consume them? I think I’d mind less if my dog wanted the fruit, she just seems to like shredding plants!
