you are not house training her properly and if she is pooping that much she is on a low quality food
crate train - keep in crate over night - let out first thing to pee.. then in for breakfast then out again to run and poop - YOU MUST GO OUT EVERY TIME THE DOG DOES.. have a soft treat reward ready and offer it as soon as the dog pees or poops..
back inside keep the pup on a leash so it is always visable.. as soon as it starts circling or sniffing the ground - back out (yes you too)
only crate the pup at night or when you cannot watch it - NEVER use the crate for a punishment.. running around stimulates the bowels
remove water 3 hours before bed - remove food 4 hours before bed -make sure pup gets out before bed and you too....
seriously feed a better food and you get less poops

The first thing you should do is crate him at night. In a crate small enough to sleep and turn around in but not big enough to potty in the crate and sleep elsewhere. Don't let him run around the house unattended. If you can't place him in a penned area, then put a leash on him and have him attached to your wrist. If you do this then you will know immediately if your pup starts to position himself to pee or poop. Scoop him up and take him outside. Then pull all water around 7 pm. Potty every 4 hours. Feed at the same time every day. This will help you find out when he will normally have a bowel movement. They will potty on a time schedule. Potty once again before you go to bed and first thing in the morning. (If your pup cannot hold it during the night you may have to get up several times to potty him). No dawdling getting coffee! Once you know his bowel movement schedule you can wait for him to go, just be more patient. Don't yell at him for potting in your house, just pick him up and take him where you want him to go. Always give a command like "Go potty" Use it every time you are where you want him to go. Also praise him let him know that is the behavior you want. Give it time it will work. You must also check with your vet to see if there is a medical issue such as a bladder infection. It is good to rule that out. Good luck with the training.

You don't say how old the pup is. Most dogs are not housetrained until nearly a year. Pups under about 5 months of age don't have the muscle strength needed to control elimination.
THANK YOU for not putting her nose in the mess. It's disgusting and only teaches the dog to hide its poop, not to go outside. Watch the pup closely or crate her. Take her outside regularly. Give her about 10 minutes to eliminate. When she does, praise and give a treat. If she doesn't, take her in and crate her or keep her leashed next to you. Take her out again in 30 minutes or when she looks like she needs to eliminate. Preventing accidents and praising for the correct behavior will teach her what to do.

You just need to spend for time outside with the dog. If you take it out every half hour or 45 min. It wont have the chance to go in the house all the time. You also need to find a way to let her know you are not happy when she goes in the house. I would tell my dog know and put her in the kitchen for 10 min. This is not the room where she is kept when I am gone. It takes alot for work and time.

First, get some puppy pads. They are relatively inexpensive and are sold just about everywhere. Pick a spot inside to place them for her. When you catch her going in the house, take her to the pad. Do this over and over again (newspaper works too, but the pads are much easier to clean up).
When she gets the idea to go on the pad, put one outside for her. After she gets the hang of that, take the pad away. She should start going outside like you want her to.
Also, when she goes on the pad like a good girl, reward her. My dogs usually took about 2 weeks to get the idea (I have 6). I still have 3 15 week old pups who oops sometimes, but don't give up. Especially if she has been going in the house, the grass will feel different to her and she doesn't get that it is where she is supposed to go.
If this doesn't work, talk to your vet. He or she may have other ideas for you to try, but this method has worked for me for over 30 years.

try crate training her.
buy a crate.
whenever you are not watching your puppy she must be in the crate.
-When you are watching her if she tries to go to the bathroom bring her outside.
-Whenever you take her out of the crate bring her outside immediatly to go to the bathroom.
-Make sure the crate has only enough room for her to sleep because if it is too big she will poop/pee on one side and sleep on the other side.
-Buy a crate that is big enough for the puppy when it gets bigger and just put a box in the back to adjust the size.
also, do NOT leave food and water down all the time. Whenever you feed her wait about a half hour and bring her outside. give her water every few hours and as with food bring her outside about a half hour later.
after she is trained you will be able to leave food and water down all the time
she will eventually learn that inside is not the place to go.

1st you must clean the area in your house she has gone.
If you don't she'll keep going there.
Do not give her run of the house. You can crate her or confine her to a small area in house. Search-crate training for canines.
Feed her at the same time each day & nothing after certain hours.
Watch her actions. alot of dogs go into a turning motion, when wanting to relieve themselfs.
Always carry her to same potty spot each time. Walk around outside w/her & keeping telling her go potty.When she pottys make a big to do out of it/praise her w/a treat.
DOGS LEARN FROM REPETITION.

The various forms of punishing the dog aren't considered state of the art dog training anymore. Don't put her nose in it. Don't hit her. That just teaches her to be afraid of you.
Someone posted about crate training. This is the sort of training that's considered more modern and effective.
Part of effective puppy training is to train yourself. Basically, you need to anticipate when the puppy will need to go outside and be proactive. She's not ready to tell you yet. Times she'll need to go out:
-Any time she has just woken up. EVERY time she has just woken up, she goes outside first. Carry her if you have to.
-Any time she's just eaten or drunk anything. Outside she goes.
-If she's playing with anyone and stops for more than 1 or 2 seconds, outside.
You have to watch her for these signs. Every transition means outside. Wake up, eat/drink, play. Then outside.
Remember to praise her when she goes outside.
Also, if you want to teach her to ask to go out, one trick people do is hang a bell near the door you want her to use. For the first few weeks, ring the bell as you take her outside, and praise her every time you ring it. Maybe treat her sometimes when you ring it.
Then switch so that you're helping her ring it. Praise, treat, then outside.
Eventually she'll learn that when the bell is rung, she gets a treat and gets to go outside. Reduce the treat frequency until you no longer need them at all.
As for treats -- you want something very small and soft. NOT hard and crunchy. You want to be able to give your puppy a lot of these, so they have to be small and soft. If you go to PetSmart, you'll be able to find training treats like this, but it's tough. I use things like Pupperoni but then cut them up into much smaller pieces. Some places will call treats like this "bait".

WE LEARNED HOW TO HANDLE THIS WHEN WE GOT A NEW PUPPY. YOU HAVE TO WALK THEM AT LEAST ONCE A DAY FOR 30-45 MINUTES TO GET THEM USED TO THE OUTDOORS. OFTEN THEY WILL RELIEVE THEMSELVES DURING THE WALK, IF SO PRAISE THEM SO THEY WILL REALIZE THEY DID GOOD. ANOTHER THING, AT FIRST YOU HAVE TO LET THEM OUT VERY OFTEN AND FIRST THING IN THE A.M. ESPECIALLY. AGAIN, PRAISE THEIR GOOD "DEED". FEED THEM WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LET THEM OUT IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. IT TAKES WORK BUT IF CONSISTENT IN SEVERAL WEEKS NO MORE ACCIDENTS. REMEMBER,THEY WANT TO PLEASE YOU AND WILL TRY HARD. ALSO, DON'T YELL OR SCREAM IF AN ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. REMEMBER THEY ARE JUST BABIES. GOOD LUCK. P.S. FEED THEM DRY FOOD AND AT NIGHT LEAVE A LITTLE WATER OUT BUT PUT UP THE FOOD, THAT HELPS AS WELL.

If you dont want to put her nose in it (disciplinary step) then you have no right to complain about it. How is she going to know she's doing something wrong? You have to keep an eye on her and catch her while she's taking a dump. Yell no and put her outside. If she keeps going, let her finish, put her nose in it, smack her on the butt and put her outside.
