How to potty train a puppy that only poops indoors, not outside?

Question

I have a 4 month old labradoodle. We have had her for two weeks and then potty training has been challenging. We have her trained to intimate on a mat but #2 has been a challenge. We were told by the breeder that she was using a doggy door and of course she poops in front of every door. When we take her out she sniffs everything but does not poop or pee. We walk her three times a Day morning afternoon and evening and nothing yet outside. HELP! Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | spayed | 3 months and 29 days old | 33 lbs

Put Brooke on a leash and take her outside to her designated spot. Do not walk around. Just stand there and repeat "go outside" or a similar phrase. As soon as she starts to go, repeat "go outside" and praise "good dog!" as she goes. When she is finished, bring her directly back inside. If she does not go after a reasonable amount of time, bring her in but do not remove the leash. Attach it to your belt loop and keep her with you. Don’t let her out of your sight! When you see her start to circle or sniff, take her right outdoors again and repeat the process. If she does mess in the house, do not scold her unless you actually catch her in the act. In that case, say "NO!" and take her right outside. Tell her to "go outside" and praise as she finishes. Keep her in a crate at night, or for short periods when you are not at home.
