Make him a 'sand box' which is his digging area. By having loose soil there, you can encourage him to start. Also, bury toys and bones and things like that and show him to find them. Whenever you are out with him, praise wildly for digging in his spot. If he digs elsewhere, give a firm, "NO, go to your place!" and then escort him over, and play in the dirt with him, digging yourself and shouting and getting very silly so he knows this is the *best* place to dig.
