Answer
Hi, Is he trying to dig out or just digging in the middle of the yard?  If he is digging to get out, and he is not neutered, then he could be digging out to find a girl.  It is very common at that age for them to dig to get out when a female is in heat in the neighborhood.  If he is just digging holes in the yard, it could be due to boredom or anxiety.  It all just depends on the circumstance, if he is neutered or not, or if he is just bored.  Hope this helps,

Dawn
