Have the dog de-clawed. He can't dig with stubs.

People do that to cats all the time thereby saving their precious
furniture at the expense of the cat's primary defensive and
offensive weapon.

Bull****. A cat's primary weapon is it's rear claws. The fronts
are merely a warning of things to come.

Dogs don't use their claws/nails for anything except digging. No
harm there.

cruel is all i can say, you ever see what a animal goes thru after
being declawed?

Again, bull****. Our cats barely knew they were declawed. It was
dune at the same time as neutering. By the time the anesthetic
fully wore off they were running all over the house. No harm no
foul. If the cat is in serious pain after declawing you took them
to a butcher.

I never said anything about pain. Let me repeat. De-clawing a cat robs it of
its primary offensive and defensive weapon. It cannot navigate at speed
without claws (do you wonder why the Cheeta is the only cat with
non-retractable claws), it cannot climb, it cannot stand and fight while
maintaining the ability to retreat.

Those who de-claw cats are evil and should be shunned by other species,
including humans. They are only one step above the scum that forms atop a
septic system in likeability, but even that is far, far higher than vets who
actually perform the procedure.
