Here's my two cents on digging - I've heard, although not tried myself, that if you fill the dig holes with water, they don't dig in them. Sounds a bit muddy and gross though. Tani is a digger, but I don't think our rememdy for that will work for too many folks. I am a stay at home mom, so my dogs hang out inside with me. I don't leave them outside unattended, so I'll let them out and watch them. When I see her start to dig, I tell her to stop and she stops. However, if one of the kids lets the dogs out and forgets to let them back in, it's moon crater central for sure.
