Everytime she goes outside, she goes strait for some holes she's dug and keeps on digging, I don't know how to make her stop.

So, let her dig - what is the big deal?? So you have some holes - look on the bright side you can practice your putting skills or washer tossing!
On a more serious note, when she digs spray her with water and tell her no, make sure she gets a lot of exercise outside. Play ball with her or something else, you can not expect to leave a dog outside alone without them getting bored and digging.

My dogs know that they're not allowed to dig, but they are never outside unsupervised. In our back yard there is a bare spot where we keep the boat in the fall, winter, and spring. In the summer though the boat lives in the driveway as we take it out every weekend. My dogs love to dig in this bare spot. I bought an 8' x 5' piece of plastic lattice that I just lay over the spot. Not all that attractive, but it prevents holes and muddy paws.

you prefer a penny can. Get an empty pop-desirable can (like a can of soda or can of broth---open the desirable, empty the contents, rinse and dry out, then put in approximately 5-10 pennies and tape slightly bit heavy paper over the hollow to seal). once you shake the can it would make a noisy clanking noise. Now, while your dogs is contained in the backyard and starts off to dig, pass outdoors and shake the can. it would scare the dogs. If it starts off to dig returned, shake the can and then throw it close to the dogs (making specific to no longer hit the dogs with the can). it oftentimes makes plenty noise it scares them. you are going to might desire to truly watch your dogs and attempt to seize him digging each time and shake/throw the can at him. interior of one week he shouldn't dig anymore. i've got had many canines and used this methodology and it works. additionally, some puppy grant and coaching centers sell penny cans. stable success!

Can you restrict some of your yard for her only? perhaps get some temporary fencing, one idea is to put a brick in the hole to stop her digging it and then put a sand pit in the area shes allowed to dig.
You could also get some kongs (rubber toys) that you stuff with nice treats to stop her from being bored so she doesnt resort to digging..

More exercise. A tired dog doesn't have the desire to dig.
Sounds obessive, either from frustration (lack of exercise or stimulation) or could be neurological (unlikely).
Find a way to stimulate your dog. What breed is it? If its a hound for example, hide things around the yard for him to track.

Most dogs dig either because they are bored or they have some sort of mental problem. It is hard to break them. You can ask your Vet or take your pet to an animal behaviorist.

you can't really, you can try to train your dog, but might take some time, and let me guess, you leave your dog outside when you are not at home. I might suggest concrete, just kidding.
