She's marking her territory. A study (can't remember who did it) concluded that the dog releases scent from their paws & the scratch marks indicated direction of travel.
At 4 she is pretty much fully mature. Is she spayed?When was her last heat, if not?
You can try t train her not to, but to do that you need to be out there with her..on a leash. When she eliminates & starts to mark/scratch give a verbal interrupter & quickly move her along.
