You may want to try feeding her a bit of fresh pineapple. Something about feeding it to them makes the poo very unappealing. (Plus, it's a yummy, healthy treat for them. )
Try to remove any poopies from the yard/house ASAP and try to watch her and correct her as soon as she shows interest in it. Be persistant and patient.

In the words of my Vet, you know why they do it? Because they like it. I usually have this problem with my females.

But, if you study canine behavior.....it's very natural, most do it because they want to keep their den clean, keeping the scent away from preditors, especially females, as we all know diaper their babies.

Another thing you might try is a bit of Accent on their food, it renders the waste distasteful, and picking it up as soon as they go.
