Crate train her, then when you take her outside, have her go in a specified spot every time. Maybe create a little area behind some bushes. If you and she are outside for an afternoon, tie her on a long rope to your belt so you can keep track of her. Correct her when she starts to dig. Actually, this should have been started the first time you took her out. At 9 months, it'll just take a little longer. After all, it took 9 months for her to learn to learn to dig wherever. ;-)

I don't have an answer for you, but that is how I ended up with an eight foot fence around my veggie garden. I had four feet, and two of our four dogs would flat foot jump it to get at squirrels that were running the fence on the other side of the garden, losing plants ensued, so ended up using the rest of the fencing we had left and put up another four feet and a gate. I lost half of my green beans and a couple of peppers and a few carrots from that misjudgment on the human side vs. dogs food chain. They seem to have their own agenda and no one can change their mind.
chicken wire fencing. You may need to burry it about 6 inches into the ground. And put it flat between the garden rows as well.
Hmmm, if it's something you want to tackle with additional training, here's a good start:

chicken wire just under the surface or above ground but under mulch
Tain train train! Not that difficult, just needs time, patience and consistency. I have 6 dogs, all taught not to dig. Yours is still a baby so be patient! It is in their nature to dig. You do not want to break their spirit, just teach them not to dig. All easy to Google too. Here are some great links. Tell hubby he needs to get with the program. 🐶
