Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The easiest way though time consuming is to walk her frequently and when she does defecate celebrate it and praise her and give her treat. At the same time let her know that going inside is unacceptable. If you remain consistent she will learn to associate going outside with something positive. Good luck and have a good night!
