Default Dog Digs Into Carpet

I have a four year old lab mix dog. Shadow has never been a dog to dig
outside but he does have access into the house via doggie door. For some
reason Shadow will find a spot in the living room and start digging at the
carpet like he's digging a hole! He started this in our old house and he
would only dig near or in the same spot in one room of the house. I was
always having to vacuum strands because it was sort of a loopy carpet and
after a dig there were always lots of loose strands. I'm surprised he never
broke deeper down to the padding.

We recently moved to a new house. I was hoping whatever he was going for in
the older house was not a problem in the new one. Wrong, he's now picked a
spot here and goes at it. I always fuss at him to stop digging to let him
know its wrong but is there something else I can do?

TIA
Phyllis
