Potty Training An Aussie Who Was Kept In A Kennel

We brought home our beautiful Aussie a month ago. She is 6 months and the breeder had kept her in the kennel all of the time. We have been trying to crate her but not working so well. I think she is associating the crate with the kennel she was kept in. She will go potty when we take her out, but not always poop. We are very consistent about putting food and water up after a certain time and have been sticking to a strict schedule so as not to confuse her. We also have a poodle that she has been able to see someone else use the potty the right way. She will still go potty in her crate and poop. I do know that she can hold it because she has done it a couple of times. I know this is a work in progress, just wanted to see if anyone had other suggestions.
