What can I do to stop my dog from pooping in her cage? I have had her for two months and she is still doing it. I do everything, but nothing is changing?

THis is a tricky situation
Unless something happened in your home to make her upset, or unless she is sudeenly ill (vet would check for that) most likely what happened is one day she just did it, it seemed easier, she received no feedback from you that it was inappropriate, and the habit stuck.
The thing to do would be to catch her in the act, and with a firm but gentle voice startle her out of it (such as by saying NO!) and then quickly take her to the pad where you want her to defecate.
When she successfully completes the poo, give her praise and a treat.
Dogs ordinarily do not soil where they eat or sleep. You need to call the vet on this one to make sure there is no physical problem.
