Well, there are two ways to get rid of bad behavior.

One is to have a negative result of the behavior. Example: dog digs hole, you fill hole with water and stick his nose in it until dog thinks it is going to drown. Then fill hole in. Should only happen 3 or 4 times until dog learns no dig.

The other is to train the dog to do the behavior on command, then it tends to not do the behavior unless commanded, Example: dog digs hole. Got out and start digging more holes and give the dog the command to dig and praise when it does. Repeat until dog digs on command. Fill in the holes.

The second method has worked with my dogs for most bad habits.

When the dog makes a mess with something it has chewed up it wasn't supposed to, instead of punishing them I grumble and complain in a voice like I'm angry and disappointed saying stuff like, "Look at the mess you made that I have to clean up." while cleaning up the mess. My first dog was so sensitive to this when I cleaned up a few messes, she would sit, hang her head, and smile real big while I was cleaning up. And the added benefit was she became very sensitive to the tone of my voice so all I had to do was barely raise my voice and she obeyed instantly.
