Digging!

digging is easily resolved by exercise: a tired dog will not dig. give her longer walks and spend more time playing with her to give her more mental stimulation and an outlet to release her pent-up energy.
 
or you can simply supervise her when she's out in the yard to prevent any digging.

The poor thing is always tired, my sister lives across the street and adopted Maggie's littermate, so those two always have playdates. She has plenty of toys in the backyard and also my older dog. She is only outside alone about 10 minutes, so we are working on that.
 
But is there anything else???

I  can only say that you probably are going to have to accept the digging and maybe allow her a special dig area. Or get a kiddie pool, fill it w/ play sand, and make that her "special" area. Also, try giving her a stuffed kong or other toy that involves brainpower to play around with. Mondayblues is right; more mental stimulation might help.
 
Maddi's also a digger (malamute, no suprise there []). She'll do it if she is bored or thinks I should be giving her attention. It does help if she's wiped out, but it's SOO hard to wipe out a young husky, lol.
 
 

If your girl is digging in a specific spot, over and over again, grab some cayenne pepper and put a layer of that over the dig spot.  Make sure that it's good and covered and when she starts to dig in the pepper, she'll get a nose full and then won't like it so much.  Worked on my dog, but he just kept changing dig spots, so for a while my backyard looked like it was covered in red powder.
 
Otherwise, I'd do what has been mentioned before, give her a spot where it's ok to dig and let her go to town there.

My neighbor had the same problem so she started burying the dog's poop wherever he decided to dog and he got pretty bored with it soon enough!

Cayenne pepper is pretty painful for a dog`s nose so I would try milder ways first.
Try those things that the others have already suggested like a special digging area, please.
Say 'no' when she`s digging somewhere in the garden and then lead her to the place where she can dig, or maybe bury something there so she will only dig at that place herself.

I had a dog who was a mega digger -- I had Chinamen and Australians popping up all over my lawn!!!!  sheesh.
 
Nothing stopped him (and no one told ME to give him a place to dig - that likely would have stopped him!). 
 
But I tried everyting from burying his poop in the hole (Oh wow -- who put THIS here -- let's spread it around!!! dig dig dig).
 
I also buried cayenne pepper.  A whole JAR of it in one spot he kept returning to.
 
Next thing I looked out -- there's Mike -- sitting there EATING DIRT!~~
 
From that moment on that dog LOVED hot stuff.  Jalapenos, Chili -- ANYTHING hot!! 
 
I created an addict!!

LOL!!!

Once a dog learns to dig, it's a pretty self-rewarding behavior and they don't usually stop.   Putting pepper or feces in the holes only makes them dig in new spots, so can make your garden rather "spotty" LOL.
Best solution I have found is to give the dog a spot where it's ok to dig.  Dogs like to dig in an already dug spot, where the dirt is loose - you can simulate that by digging up some soil and then filling the hole back in, or you can make a sandbox in the ground.  Either way, the trick is to go out with your dog (after you have baited the area by burying some milkbones there) and dig with your dog.  Make a big deal out of it, say "dig" or "find" and let him come up with a bone.  Yay!!!!!   Every once in a while bury a few more, so he is intermittently reinforced for digging in the right spot.  Discourage him if he digs elsewhere by simply saying "not there" (not in a scolding tone - you are just providing information, not punishment) and taking him to the dig spot - get excited and say "dig". 

Thanks for all the suggestions, what we are going with at this point is she is not outside by herself at all. Which is fine as my mother is home all day and will gladly sit outside with her and my 3 year old niece, so they play all afternoon. So far no digging, which is good it's been a couple of days, hopefully when she is older digging will no longer be an issue and she can hang out outside with my older dog who spends a good chunk  of time sunbathing.
 
Thanks again!
Kristie and lil Maggie!!
