How to deter digging behavior inside the house

Hi. My family and i have a 8 month old lab mix puppy. Whenever we give her bully sticks to chew on, she seems to have a predicament. She will chew on it for the first minutes, but will then start to whine and carry the chew around. While having the chew in her mouth she will try to bury it in the couch using her paws or put the stick under some of the furniture. She will also try to burry the bully stick outside as well. When this started to happen I would usually take the bully stick away. I have tried placing it either on her bed, or her favorite part of the couch. I have also tried bully stick holders. They kinda work, however I want to see if there is a we can redirect the behavior or accommodate her habits.

She is being trained and her trainer knows this. Anything will help.

Guessing what mix Harmony is?

So my family and I got a dog. We got her from a rescue near us. For context she was a feral puppy from Georgia. She is very sweet, but a nervous nelly. She is afraid of a lot of noises. She does gives the best cuddles though.Harmony also has a mix of that soft lab coat, but she has some wirey hair. From what the rescue is some kind of lab mix. A mix of what we dont know. Our vet recommended wisdom panel we just sent the results out today.

Our trainer says she is part terrier. My mom thinks part German shepherd. And well my brothers think she is part Hyena. I want yo see waht you guys think.
