Hi Tara.
I'm sorry to hear this.  I know how annoying relieving problems can be.
Are you cleaning her pooping spot in the house with an enzyme cleaner,
like Nature's Miracle?  If the smell hangs around, she may be thinking
that's a great poop spot.  There have been times I thought I should own
stock in Nature's Miracle, I was buying so much of it.

Krokus is a guy who needs to move around to take a poop.  Taking a walk
always stimulates him.  Otherwise, it takes a bit of wandering around,
then usually several spins.  So maybe your girl needs more moving around
outside?
Also, it took me a while to get Krokus's signals that he has to go out. 
Plus, he only signals when it's *really urgent, so sometimes it's hard to
grab my shoes and get him out in time.  Last, he has to go out way more
than 4 times a day.  My other dogs have been fine with 4 or 5 times, but
not him.
Good luck.
Tracy
