NEED HELP - Digging Dog - What's Best Way To Stop?

Poo' thing worked wonders on my Yellow Lab. He has such an aversion to his own poo' he wont grab a toy that is near it. He will paw it away and then maybe he will pick it up! LOL
Right around the time I noticed him digging, I also realized he had the aversion to his own mess. Put the trick to work and he hasn't touched the hole he started into the neighbors yard! LOL
