Hi there and thank you for posting your question! I would recommend rewarding Montana every time she goes outside. This will help reinforce that she gets rewarded every time she goes outside and hopefully she will understand that going outside and going to the bathroom ends with a treat. You can look into calming products such as the adaptil collar comma if she is experiencing anxiety outside. More frequent walks outside may help encourage her to do her business outside. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
