I'm guessing it was most likely a wild dog or fox, something with a good sniffer looking for food. That's why whatever it was kept digging passed the fertilizer spike, they were searching for something more tasty, like a ground mole, vole, or other ground creature. And, that's why the urine worked to deter them. Thumbs up

We don't have wild dogs, we do have raccoons.
