....dogs and cats hate pine sol, soak a few cotton balls, or spray it all over with a dollar store sprayer...pine sol may work...best is ammonia, dogs hate ammonia and bleach, spray one around with a sprayer -

Train the dogs!http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/digging.htmlhttps://m.wikihow.pet/Stop-a-Dog-from-DiggingChances are they need more exercise than they are getting. Give them stuff to chew on and play with too. They are bored. -

Hi Candy,Another way would be to dig a trench around the edges and put in a landscape timber below ground level. You can then cover it with stone. This idea came from a video that showed this technique under a gate, but it should also work with your floating deck. Click on the link below to see the video. Wishing you the best.https://www.todayshomeowner.com/video/tip-for-keeping-your-dog-from-digging-under-a-fence-gate/9223372036854775803/ -

Your dog is looking to make a den for himself, if you are leaving him out unattended in the yard,,,, I would provide him a dog run and dog house, many put them on the side of their houses or I like the back perimeter of the property hopefully where there is a tree or two. You can even buy these pre-made.... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lucky-Dog-Uptown-Welded-Wire-Kennel-6-H-x-4-W-x-8-L/36442142?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227024978352&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40341950672&wl4=aud-310687322322:pla-78300494552&wl5=9033057&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=36442142&wl13=&veh=sem be sure to provide shade, water and food if leaving your dog outside for any amount of time. Dog igloos are popular here, and I have picked up a few for free or real cheap at thrift stores for my client's dogs.,,,, https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=dog%20igloo&typeahead=dog%20igloo- See 1 previous
