Persistent digging (like biting or persistent barking or chewing
everyone's stuff to pieces) tends to be a neurotic behavior, usually
caused by some degree of bad socialization or neglect or loneliness or
stress in the dog's life, all invariably the fault of the owner. Once a
bad behavior begins, it will not stop until you have gone through some
strict training alongside the dog with a trainer expert in modifying
harmful behaviors in dogs -- & harmful care techniques of owners. People
unwilling to invest the time, money, & training required to have a healthy
happy well-behaved dog should meet the same fates as most of these poor
animals.
