To train potty outside she needs to be on a food and walk schedule. I had big yorkies, weights over 9 pounds, I fed my puppies twice a day 1/2 the recommended amount at 7:30AM, 20 minutes later I walked them, even if they had made on the pad, I walked them anyway. Dogs are creatures of habit, the have built in alarm clocks, if you keep to a schedule of feeding then walking they will learn when they will go for their potty walks. I came home from work at 4:30PM took them to the curb and they would pee, 5PM they were fed the other half of the recommended daily food, 20 minutes later they were walked. Feed same time in the morning and evening, walk same time morning and evening even if she made on the pad, walk her anyway, this way she learns what time she gets walked. Just before you go to bed walk her again. Key word is "schedule" you must be diligent with this and have patience no scolding, no harsh voice tone.
Some dogs will make 30 minutes after eating, this is going to be a trial and error period until you see how long it takes her to make after she eats. If her previous owner was pad training her make sure you leave a pad down for her until she is 100% house broken. Keep her in a confined area while she is using pads, no free roam of your home. Once she is 100% outdoor trained then you can let her be free in the house. Remember "schedule" is key in house breaking.
