What will help with this is if you crate her overnight or at times during the day, take her outside immediately and start using the terms "inside" and "outside", pick a word (potty) and be consistent. "Let's go outside go potty, good girl potty outside". If you use the same terms and are consistent she'll get it pretty quickly. Dog trainers say within 20 minutes of eating is usually poo time so you're right on there.
In general, dog training for me was: If you like say good, if you don't say bad, if they are doing something you don't like command them to stop, if she doesn't then make her (scruff of neck grab, put on back if necessary).
