I suggest you take her out for a long walk a few times a day. She will likely then pee. Walking helps with eliminations. Apparently she has not yet made the connection between going outside and peeing and treats (ie that it is good for her to pee outside). Be patient, it will get better. Some dogs learn a bit slower than others.
