Can I fix this myself or should I hire someone to do it? It's about 5-7 inches. If I attempt this, what would something like this be on the difficulty scale (1-10)?



Caught her with the wall dust all over her face.

Hmm, I think i'd be curious to see what is behind that wall that she was so determined to get to.

how deep is that? Is it drywall? I just can't tell from the picture.
If it is drywall, then it is a 2-5 on difficulty to fix depending on your experience.

both problems are an easy fix.

The drywall can be fixed with a little putty.

The dog can be fixed with a shock collar. I have raised goldens since I was 10, and they respond VERY quickly to shock collars. They're smart dogs- it'll only take once or twice and she'll get the picture.

^we had golden retrievers growing up. and one of these dogs really liked to jump our fence and run around the neighborhood (and if we raised the fence, he'd dig under it). anyway, so we got an electric fence shock collar thing in combination with our chain-link fence. and you could watch him slowly inch towards the electric fence to see where he start to get shocked and then back up, getting a running start and just deal with the shocking while he jumped the fence. smart (if frustrating) dog.

The girls who lived in my apt prior to me moving in *so they say* had a puppy who dug a similar hole in the wall by the kitchen as you're first walking in the apt (hallway thing). Grrrr....you can see where they just plugged it with plaster or something and painted over it. Not smoothed over and fixed (the walls have texture so being "smooth" is OBVIOUS).

I know this girl whose dog did it to her apartment kitchen. I would just plaster over it like she did. Sand it down a little but no need to give it any texture, because you won't be able to tell once you paint over it.

When dogs are bored they tend to destroy things, but I'd also be interested to see what's behind that wall. Chances are that your puppy is just bored, if I had to guess.

^^^ You can DEFINITELY tell, so I guess they did a REALLY shitty job of repairing it. Damn, it's an eye-sore. Ughhh! And our walls are painted. Maybe I can fix it myself one of these days.
