I'm a HUGE fan of tethering my adoptees/rescues for learning (or just reinforcing) potty training. I have a piece of an old light long line I use.
Tethering is even more urgent if you never see her pooping.
Being kenneled has taught her to go inside. It takes a concerted effort to break through that. I have spent loooong periods outside with a new adoptee so the dog would have to go poop or pee outdoors and get instant praise and rewards.
Moving around outside can stimulate peristalsis (and therefore pooping).
(Also, at the beginning, I did employ picking up when the dog was tethered to me and started a squat or other potty-posture -- I would hustle her outside and then start the potty party as soon as she went potty outside.)
It's worth a huge effort at the start with these dogs who have been forced to think potty belongs inside.
