First, make sure that your "Nope, no poop" isn't too forceful when you are correcting her in the house. You don't want to teach her that it's scary to poop when you are around!

This will sound gross but try taking some of her poop outside and leaving it there. When you take her out, lead her to it. Dogs often stimulate themselves to poop by smelling excrement.

Also when you're outside, don't stare directly at her. It puts alot of pressure on her. Turn your body sideways, yawn, and just watch from the corner of your eye.

When she does poop outside, it's PARTY TIME!!! Make a huge fuss over her - shower lots of praise and immediately give a delicious treat (like a bit of cheese or meat; not boring dog treats). I'd carry the treats out with me every time so that you are prepared to reward the second she finishes.

Good luck!
