If you are out watching her and she digs - spray her with the hose or a water bottle.
GOOD LUCK!
i would be afraid that once the balloon popped and the initial scare was over, they would go investigate and maybe eat the balloon ...

i know the OP problem, i have a GSD/Lab mix and the snow is melting and the ground is getting softer... and my little cinni and thunder love to see what is on the other side.. i talked to my dad and he suggested that chicken wire be placed around the fence area about 6 inches or so, that way when they start to dig the hit the chicken wire and then, hopefully stop...

if not, i will only prewrite notes to all my surrounding neighbors, ( all of which have dogs as well) that if in fact they see my "children" to send them back on home .. lucky for us, we all have fenced yards, so, they could not get very far
