As the "mother" of two wire fox terriers, I can tell you that Baby Tats has given you great advice and I strongly suggest that you do what he says. This is exactly what I did over the years with two sets of wire fox terriers and it worked beautifully. I fenced off a 3' x 8' section where they had started to dig and directed them to another spot and it worked. You can also buy horrible smelling sprays that won't harm your plants and they worked well for me, too. All you need to do is redirect their attention to another area.

Good luck to you. It does sound to me as if Louie may be a bit smarter than you think. ;-)
