Keep her tether to you at all times or confine when unable to be tethered, when she has to poop, take her to where you want her to poop. Tell her "go potty" (or something equalivent) so she can associate the word with the action. When she poops, reward her with treats and hugs and praises. Repeat until she is trained. The key is persistence and consistence. Do the exact same thing until she gets it. Don't give up, eventually they do catch on.
This method has worked for me with all of my puppies.
