She had to earn her run of the house freedom by becoming potty trained.

Her X-pen had a bed, toys, food & water. She didn't mind it one bit.
(She could still see us and was in the same room with us.)

Good Luck!
I did exactly the same thing. On the spot praise and earned freedom in the house. Scheduled feeding also helped with the pooping. The xpen was the best investment. Keep the faith and keep at it.
