Dog repellent

Does anyone know of a homemade or a really good off-the-shelf dog repellent? My dog keeps digging up my plants and chewing my shrubs. Any ideas??

At Petco and Petsmart, they sell some granules called Repel, that works really well. I used to use it at my old house. I had a wood fence in back, and the neighbor's that lived behind us, had a big dog that would do his poop right up against their side of the fence. It wasn't a pleasant smell for us, while we sat out on our backyard patio. So we spread the granules up against our side of the fence, and it was strong enough that the dog stayed at least four feet away from the fence. I felt bad about it. But you do what you gotta do.

I have a dog that digs up holes in the yard where I have put new sand to build up the yard. We also have a nasty tom cat that has a disgusting selling potty box. I take the kitty litter after the cat pissed in it and spread it around the yard where I don't want the dog to dig and it seems to be working. I guess the amonia smell of the cat pee is too much for the dog.

Cayanne pepper; one good sniff and the dog/cat usually remembers it. It's a most memorible experience. Try to find a bulk food store and buy it there; the price is better that way.

Another effective option I've seen used is to install one of those invisible fences around the foliage. After fido get's zapped a few times, and if you're lucky, you can remove the zapping collar from fido and the memory of getting zapped will still be in his head.

How do use the Cayenne? Straight from the package or do you mix it? Does it last long?
