Digging holes is not out of the norm for dogs. Just like their instinct to chew, some find digging holes to be a fun activity. Some might dig to combat boredom or to hunt down a gopher or squirrel. Whether your dog has some serious hunting vibes going on or just needs a leisure activity when they're out in the yard, it's usually typical dog behavior.
Although, some do it for other reasons. Beagles are known for digging holes to keep cool underground during hot temperatures. Some dog breeds actually like the sense of security they have when they're underground. Dog owners, if you suspect that your dog is digging holes to escape hot weather conditions or for a peaceful escape, an underground dog house could be a great way to add enrichment to their lives when outside.
