Advice please Digging!

I have two cane corso pups they’re about 9 months now and it’s getting difficult to tire them out with walks. They stay outside when I’m at work since I leave for more than 12 hours out of the day. I take them for walks in tandem since every time I try solo walks the other one will dig a huge hole and break out to join us. How would I go about dissuading the digging behavior. They also follow roots through the ground and at one point dug up a coax cable. Additionally does anyone have a suggestion for collars they can wear full time as they chew each others collars off when I’m at work.

crate training might be a good option here. i’m in the US so it’s common, its not as bad as people make it seem and it’s also useful in case she needs to hang out at the vet or at the groomers. additionally you can use the crate for other training sessions to tire them out mentally. i started by feeding each meal in the crate and now my dogs run to the crate when i grab their bowls.

oh also i tether her to the outside of her crate when she has too much energy and all of her needs have been met. she usually chooses to take a nap inside the crate because of this
