If you feed 2 times a day give 1 or 2 pieces right around meal time you do not need to mix it into the food. I would suggest that you use the chunks and if they are too large cut them smaller. You do not need to mix it into her food.
If you want to try using canned pumpkin you need to use the Packed Pumpkin not the pie filling. Mix a can of packed pumpkin with canned Evangers dog food and then added a spoon full to each bowl of food I fed. I liked the Evangers since it is 100% game meat and did not want to add any grain fillers into their diet.

I mixed the to ingredients together in a storage container and added a little with warm water at each meal, just enough to coat the kibble. The pumpkin is also soothing to their tummies too. When my Doodlebug was a tiny puppy I fed him the pumpkin mixture because he always had an upset tummy after eating and it totally helped.
You need to be sure you are feeding a high quality dog food that is low in grains. If you are feeding a food that is high in grains, you are pretty much just making a warm loaf when it comes out the other end. 
One final thing that you NEED to follow PICK UP THE POOP IMMEDIATELY!
I guarantee that this will work! There have been many threads on YT about this exact same subject and everyone that followed these step CONSTANTLY was successful. The enzymes in the pineapple and pumpkin changes the digestive tract and makes the poop unappetizing even to the most hard core poop eaters. It will take at LEAST a week for the enzymes to adjust so please just be consist and use lots of patience.

Thanks! I gave her & Rily pineapple last night and again this morning before feeding their regular food. Canned, I didn't have any fresh. I have given them both pumpkin before as well. I do pick the poop up as soon as I know about it, but Saydee sometimes hides to do her business.
We are working harder on the peepad training, but she is proving to be more difficult to train than Rily. I have been feeding TOTW. I haven't heard of Evanger's, can you buy it locally at TSC or PetSmart, or do you have to order it online? I get their food at my local TSC because I live in a rural area and don't have a lot of choices. From what I have learned here, TOTW seemed to be my best option.
