Try this .... If the dog just continues to dig regardless of the things you
have tried thus far ... Fill the hole they just dug with water and hold
their muzzle down in the water for a few seconds. It should take more
than
a couple of times to discourage them permanently. It will not hurt them.

>> One day he was under the table scratching at the floor
