You should have been command training her. If she's 100% potty trained then it should be easy for you to attach a command to it. My dog is trained if we say "go potty" she goes to the bathroom no matter where she is. This is how we did it; When she was actually going whether it was pee or poop we used the command "potty" We just kept saying that over and over until she was finished. The second she was done, we stopped the command. We did that everytime she went to the bathroom. After a week of it she was command trained to go when we told her to go. She still goes to the litterbox on her own but if we are about to crate her for the night or leave we give her the command. It's really not hard at al, good luck.
