Have the dog de-clawed. He can't dig with stubs.

People do that to cats all the time thereby saving their precious furniture
at the expense of the cat's primary defensive and offensive weapon.

Dogs don't use their claws/nails for anything except digging. No harm there.

Agree, don't get the dog declawed.

I have a golden retriever who tried the same thing.

I initially buried some chickenwire, that didn't work he just tore it
up.

A couple of inches of quickcrete under a layer of dirt directly under
the fence solved the issue.

Bullshit. A cat's primary weapon is it's rear claws. The fronts
are merely a warning of things to come.

Again, bullshit. Our cats barely knew they were declawed. It was
dune at the same time as neutering. By the time the anesthetic
fully wore off they were running all over the house. No harm no
foul. If the cat is in serious pain after declawing you took them
to a butcher.

Cats without fronts have difficulty running away from trouble. They want to
climb but can't so they get caught and beaten up a lot.
