I need to train my rabbit because she poops everywhere and pees everywhere. How do I prevent this from happening?

You can't always 100% potty train every rabbit. The rabbit can not always control their fecal pellets, so you may still have to pick up a few "rabbit raisens" here and there.
Most people think that you should start young with potty training. It is actually the older rabbit that will pick a corner of it's cage and designate that as it's potty corner. Once this corner is established, place a litter pan in the corner. Most rabbits will immediately associate this as their new potty pan and use it. Some may need encouragement, placing some hay in the pan is a common suggestion.
Once your rabbit has started using the litter pan in the cage, you can start to let bunny out for short periods. Encourage him/her to go back into the cage every so often, to reassure that they know the litter pan is there to use.
Any fecal pellets that are released during out of cage play time, just sweep them up and place them in the litter pan.

get a litter box and show it to her. then EVERYTIME she poops pick up her poop with a schoop and place it in the litter box. then pick her up and let hher see that u r placing her poop in there. eventaully she will see that's where her poop is and that's were she has to "go". it may take a bit but it's worked b4.
sometimes rabbit do it naturally. my friend's rabbit did. she LOVED her litter box. even more in the summer. she layed in it. but as long as she was happy we just kept cleaning it so she wasn't liying in poop.

I just put a litter box in my rabbits cage and he used it. :) But he also usually went in one spot in the cage, which is where I put the box. If she goes all over, it might be harder.
Check out www.rabbit.org. I think they have some tips on there.

For me i just leave a tray at the corner of the hutch and they will learn to do it in the tray by themselves gradually.
