I have a 4 month old Chessapeake Bay Retriever- he's doing awsome with the potty training... however, every time we put him in our fenced in back yard- he digs... and digs and digs.... he's torn up most of my rose bushes, he's dug in my fiance's horse shoe pits... he's dug up our outside lights... How in the world do we keep him from digging? We've tried the spray "no dig" stuff they sell at PetsMart and it doesn't work... any suggestions?! Thanks!

Just for the back yard not everyday use
You can get doggie shoes or make them yourself.
Cloth over all four feet - tie with string.
He wont be able to use his claws.

He needs some other activity. Hang a bike tire from a tree for him to tug at. Throw some of those black containers new plants come in around the yard for him to chew on.

Why not set aside a special area for him to dig. When you catch him digging somewhere else, take him to his area. Make it attractive and rewarding to dig there by burying some treats.

He is most likely bored and this is his way of entertaining himself.
Provide company or plenty of toys and chew items.
