Adorable Golden Retriever Shows Bernese Mountain Puppy the Art of Digging: Witness the Cutest Chaos!

Dogs learn from each other, just like kids do. Meet Bernoulli, a playful Bernese Mountain Dog puppy brimming with energy. He adores bugging his feline sister, Ginger, and getting into all sorts of trouble—especially when it comes to digging in the dirt, a naughty talent he picked up from his older sister, a Golden Retriever.

In one amusing video, the Golden Retriever shows Bernoulli the joys of uprooting grass and rolling around in the cool earth. Bernoulli jumps right in, loving the feel of the soil. His excitement is contagious, so much so that he takes a break to race around the yard, giving us an adorable display of puppy zoomies!

Watching it all is exhausting! Bernoulli looks incredibly cute in his dirt-covered chaos. It’s heartwarming to see them both having a blast, though I can’t help but feel relieved I won’t be the one cleaning up after them!

Viewers shared the joy too. Commenter @kratzy11 said, “Babynoulli videos are always a win. So much adorable gooberness!” While @jennalovell noted that getting dirty is vital for a growing pup. And @bernese.love.duo couldn’t agree more: “Absolutely no regrets!” Another user, @emmmar65, reminisced, “I miss and don’t miss puppy chaos…”

Why Do Dogs Dig?

We have plenty for our dog to enjoy—lots of toys, squirrels to chase, and sticks to chew. Yet, digging is her favorite pastime, and she loves doing it right in the middle of the lawn.

So why do dogs dig? According to the American Kennel Club, it’s often a genetic trait passed down through generations. Breeds like hunting dogs dig because it’s in their nature. Others are escape artists, trying to find a way out of the yard.

For many, though, digging is a fun way to beat boredom and ease stress. As behaviorists note, “Digging can help relieve stress, especially in bored or anxious dogs.” While we might lay back on the couch, dogs prefer to dig and explore, which keeps their minds and bodies active.

Interestingly, a study by the *Journal of Veterinary Behavior* found that dogs who engage in digging often show less behavioral issues compared to those that don’t. This suggests that giving dogs a physical outlet, like digging, can contribute positively to their overall well-being.

So, the next time you see a dog digging in your backyard, remember—it’s not just a mess. It’s their way of having fun and staying engaged!
