Yeah.....my dog has found a few spots as well. But, usually, she'll leave the track alone if it's dry. But, if I wet it down too much or the day after a good rain.....look out! In fact, I've incorporated one of her 'digs' into my track. She made a hole on one side of the track and piled the dirt on the other side. So I just formed it up a little better and made a choice of either hitting the jump or ditch in that area.

If you don't want your dog diggin.....you just have to watch them closely when the dirt is 'fresh'.......they seem to know when you've just tilled/hauled in new dirt. I have more problems with the kids diggin holes/dumping the dirt on the sidewalks/etc. then I do with the dog!!!!! Anybody got an humane ideas to keep the kids at bay?......electric fences?....land mines?!?!?!?!.....anyone?!?!?!

As for your sand idea, Calvino, I'd say that is the best thing I can think of to help 'loosen' up clay. Perhaps any kind of mulch(grass clippings/leaves/etc.) might help as well? I the mulch has helped a lot with my dirt. Which is mainly very, very small sand around here.
