Teach her to poo on command. Yes this can really be a conditioned response to your verbal cue. Pooing on cue is taught, (this is done with a paper match or cotton tip swab and petroleum jelly. When you take her out on a leash, after she pees, pick her up and take a pre-lubricated paper match stick <The paper end of course>, insert into dogs bum about r you would like to use. Just like they automatically try to push a rectal thermometer out of their bum, they will push out the match. When they poo praise (and treat if you want to.) It takes about 7 days to train an inside pooper, to do it outside. Or you a potty pad on her favorite spot. Or confine her when she is not being supervized. Good luck and best wishes.
