My new dog won't pee on walks. How can I get her to pee outside?

Question

I just adopted Luna and she is only about a year old. We don't know much about her past except she came from a kill shelter from Alabama. We let her out regularly and she has no problem pooping. However, she doesn't pee on walks and holds it indoors till it's too late to get her out the door. I can tell she feels bad when she goes in the house, any suggestions to get her to pee outside? Pet's info: Dog | Flat-Coated Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old | 45 lbs

Choose one area for her to urinate or defecate outdoors. Take her to the spot before going for a walk and wait. You use a puppy training spray in the area to encourage interest and elimination. These products may be purchased online (www.petco.com) or at your local Petco. Praise and reward her each time she urinates or defecates in the designated area. You can then go for a walk afterwards. Be patient as you may need to stand in the one spot until she goes.
