Anyway, at that time I didn't know the trick with the pineapple or with the SEP.
So each time I would see a poop in her bed I would ask her "What is that" or "Why did you do that" with the proper voice and intonation so she would understand that she has done something bad. I would also not give her attention and treats. Sometimes I was taking her food away for a while, too.
It took a while, for a month or two but finally, she realized that this is something bad and she stopped. We don't have this problem anymore.
I watch her when we are outside and when she sees a poop, she goes and smells it for one second and then she just leaves.

Taking food away is not the right way to handle anything like that. She didn’t know any better she was a puppy.
