Cocker Spaniels/Digging

Question
We have a four year old Cocker, who is continually digging holes in our lawn. How can I stop this, or could she be lacking something in her diet?

Answer
Some dogs just like digging.  Is this a new hehavior?  What have you tried in the way of training her not to do this?  Does she dig in the same area or all over?  How much exercise does she get daily?
Bored dogs with pent up energy often resort to entertaining themselves.  Is she eating anything she digs up?

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.
