Any ideas for getting dogs not to dig?  My 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees
has suddenly opted for a career in excavation.  In the past she's had
"special" spots in the yard where she flattened out a place to lie down, but
nothing like the 3-foot deep pits she's creating now. 

I've tried filling them in and re-sodding them, scolding her when I catch her,
dragging her to look at them, but she keeps digging them up again (almost
always the same places too).  Any ideas?

She's home alone in a large fenced yard for 5 or 6 hours a day, but has been
alone more in past years.  Could this be a reaction to less attention? (someone
was always home over the summer)

Your helpful hints are MUCH appreciated - that ol' Oregon rain is starting
and digging makes MUD.
