Dog keeps digging up carpet.

This lends itself to why your dog might be digging into your carpet. Don t be surprised if your dog starts digging on your carpet when good old fashioned soil isn t available. Other times it may be an interesting smell that compels your dog to dig at a particular location before he rolls in it much as he would do outside in the dirt.

Put simply they could be too hot or cold. Your dog thinks the hole of all holes is waiting to be made in your carpet. Sometimes it may be as simple as him scratching to dig up that single crumb of food that fell in between the carpet threads.
