OR remove the dogs from the area. OR put the dogs on anchored leads in the yard out of reach from the beds. OR get some device for training them and sit out there waiting for them to dig and then deploy the training device (loud noise, loud verbal commands, water blasts, shock collars).
Cold weather-related injuries include chilblains, trench foot, frostnip, and frostbite. Signs and symptoms may include: tingling, numbness, and. changes in the color and texture of the skin. Treatment generally includes moving out of the cold environment, removing wet clothing, and rewarming the affected area.
Superficial frostbite, as seen here on the tip of a finger, typically affects smaller, more exposed areas of the body, such as the fingers, feet, nose, ears and face. Frostbite is an injury caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues. First your skin becomes very cold and red, then numb, hard and pale. Frostbite is most common on the fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin. Exposed skin in cold, windy weather is most vulnerable to frostbite. But frostbite can occur on skin covered by gloves or other clothing.
