He’s stimming. He likely was bored/left alone for long periods of time before so he taught himself this to provide stimulation. You could try a puzzle food/treat game to replace the behavior. Labs and retrievers are generally food/treat driven. There are also really awesome lick mats out there you can freeze. 🥰🥰

I volunteer at a shelter and I often see dogs do repeated behaviors like that as stimulation when they have been crated for a long time. It’s almost like the brain doesn’t know how to turn it off. Redirect like you did and use positive reinforcement and in time you will see improvement. 💕 Thank you for rescuing!!

I might be a little bit late but have you considered that if he was in a bad situation would he had to sleep outside and would have to dig to be comfortable when sleeping?

I have observed this in certain species, not canines specifically, but first, I would make sure pup is getting a lot of enrichment, that being said, you could very well already be providing that. Second would be a form of zoochosis, he potentially was in an environment that was extremely confined, with little stimulation, and what resulted was the behaviour you see now. Just keep pup stimulated, lots of walks, and patient reassurance, as there is a possibility this will improve, but may never go away, depending on the severity of their circumstances pre rescue.

self calming, I think the original behaviour comes from getting comfortable in their 'spot' digging a groove in the dirt etc, a lot of dogs in rescue do this sort of stuff to calm/soothe themselves or out of boredom and it eventually becomes a stuck habit. Bit like a lion pacing in the zoo. They usually do it less over time after being adopted. You could redirect the behaviour into another form of soothing, like a lickimat

RE :
This is an anxiety response...the paying or digging stimulates the brain...he needs more exercise
