If she's no longer having pee accidents, you're doing great!

A couple of ideas -

First, be very careful not to scold or punish for pooping incorrectly. What she learns in that case isn't that she shouldn't poop in the house, but that it isn't safe to poop in your presence. Not what you want to teach!

Next, if it were me, I would keep her contained in the same room with me at all times so that I could catch her pooping. If you do catch her, run her outside to finish. If she does finish outside, treat and praise!

You're on the right track!
