Crate training and doing #2 inside....

So Aspen has been doing the crate thing since we brought her home about a month and a half ago.. she likes her crate, doesn't go potty inside it, and can leave her alone for up to 8 hours (if i get stuck at work and cant get home at lunch to let her out). As soon as I let her out, its straight to the outside, and she does #1 out there just fine, let her out for 30 mins or so, then as soon as she comes back inside, about 10 minutes later, right at the front door, #2 shows up... she refuses to do it outside, have left her out at like 3-4 hours, and still wont do it outside... help?!

Suggestion:
Put the poop in an area outside where she usually goes. Preferably fence of the area with a pen that you can put her in close the gate and leave her there to poop but stay right there with her, otherwise you'll have to work with a leash to keep her sniffing around the old poop. While there with her when and if she decides to show sign of getting ready to go, keep repeating the word "potty" continuing with the word while she is going. When she is finished repeat the words "good potty" several times with a lot of enthusiasm. Then reward her with plenty of praise as if she was just awarded "best in show" and bring her back inside. Be consistent. If she goes outside and pees, then when she come in shows signs of wanting to poop, take out immediately to the spot and go through the routine.
