So she's pooping inside once she gets home?

All I can suggest is that by teaching her to go on her "diaper" you have taught her that that is where she is to go. This is why I don't agree with potty training a puppy with the puppy pads. It's my opinion that they should be used as a means of catching any accidents instead of teaching the dog to actually go on the pads. Are you crate training her? She might be less likely to soil her crate if the space is small enough for her.

I would suggest removing the puppy pads completely. Take her outside frequently and praise her when she goes so that she knows that is her new spot.

If she poops in the house, take the poop outside and then later on, after she eats and you know she might have to go, take her outside, let her smell it and it might trigger her to start going since her scent is already outside. It's going to require some patience and perserverance on your part. But it'll be worth it. Berners are smart animals so she may catch on quickly.
