I know this may sound weird.. but train your dog to dig on command.. and most of the time the dog will stop digging all together except for when you tell him to dig.

that is one way.. now I have a dog that likes to dig and I did that and it worked but every time I go into the back yard with her now she looks at the ground and looks at me and wines cus she wants to dig..

So then I went ahead and trained my dog that it was ok to dig in the dirt portion I left just for her on the side yard in the back but not on the grass or gravel.. and she loves it and she only digs in that one spot.


yet another method would be to use the hose to squirt your dog with after you say no if it doesn't stop digging.. and most dogs do not like to get squirted with water...with proly the exception of mine she is just a water rat so I had to use a soda can with a few pennies inside and toss that at her instead of the water thing..hehehe
