Please be aware that dogs that pull can damage their trachea when on a normal collar. The halti & gentle leader harnesses are special harnesses that keep the dog from being able to pull.

For the outside thing, I'd invest in a coat - the dog may likely be getting too chilled to be able to stay outdoors long enough to do their thing. And make sure that the area where you want the pup to potty has been cleared of snow. To help the pup associate the spot you've chosen with actually pooping, I'd transfer the next 'accident' from the house to the yard. It may prompt the pup to use that spot when she smells her own poop there.
