Actually, I have been cutting her nails very short lately in hopes that would
deter her....seeems to be working now but she has also been very ill....and I
am hoping she will quit digging. Thank god for medical insurance on her.

Years ago we had a Doberman that was a digger........grandpa said we could
actually build a pool in one of the hole this dummy dug up.
First attempt at stopping the digging, we sprinkled the yard with
coffee....yes, coffee. It distracted the dog from whatever he was smelling and
then he would just stop.
But then came the raining season.
What really worked: we started to keep his nails REALLY SHORT. I mean
REALLY SHORT. That way, any extended digging would end up hurting, and he
would stop. Worked like a charm.
Or you may want to try hiring your dog out to a pool contractor.....<G>
Good luck.

Ok I need help on this one to...my female has decided that she should
landscape the whole acre and a half...she digs all the time, I feel like
removing her paws. My yard is starting to look like a real junk yard. I
have heard that if you get a balloon and blow it up, put it in the hole
they
just dug, and cover it, that when they dig again, they may pop the balloon
and they might stop digging, haven't actually tried it so I don't know if
it
works...I am to lazy to blow up a balloon...haha.
I finally just gave up, bought a kennel and put it up on our cement patio
that we have, and now she can have fun trying to dig up the cement.
