Does anyone know how to stop my dog from trying to dig up my banana plant? A fence won’t fit in the small area but am willing to try if nobody has anyone ideas.

I use lemon juice, the peels of the lemon or cayenne pepper and vinegar mixed in water and spray around the plant. It keeps the neighbor’s cats from pooping in my plant too. 🌴
