Now I don't do pads here, but what might help for her to "get" pooping on the pad is maybe rub a little of her turd (again, sorry for the graphic-ness
) on a spot on the pad. When she smells the poop there on the pad, it may help her to know that is where to go. We do outside potty, and even though she is allready housebroken, she often won't go until she has sniffed an old turd. The other day when she went out to poop, I had just got done scooping the yard, and it took her forever sniffing to find the "right" spot (and you know, there IS a right spot LOL).
So give it a try. Just like a peed on pad helps them pee there again, maybe a little poo on there will help.
