And maybe award her for doing that outside, we were always trying to be very enthusiastic when Uro did his things outside You also have to read your dog, I know when Uro wants to go out, he doesn't have to tell me his behaviour shows me.
Very good advice! Additinally, when our girl was a puppy and we were training her, we found it very helpful to use two different expressions: one for a "bad home poo" and another one for a "nice outdoor poo". She was told off for the first one, (not really aggressively, but I was kinf of grumbling) and she was praised for the other one. Once we started using two different words, she grasped the trick very quickly.
