I recently got a great dane puppy.
She is a good pup, but she shits all over the house.
What is the best way to train a dog to go outside?
We have a small dog that is 3 years old that scratches at the door when he has to go.
What is the best way to teach my puppy to do this?

Positive reinforcement of desirable behaviour and the admonishment of undesirable behaviour is the basic principle behind training a dog to do anything.
When he makes to poo inside, a sharp "NO!" and take him outside. When he poos outside praise him. You've got to be right there to do it on the spot, any delay, and he won't know what you're praising or saying no to. Repeat.

Hope this works. We expect her to be over 200 pounds. That means BIG piles. I don't wanna be cleaning that up.

Yes, I imagine the cables laid by one of those beasts to be very impressive indeed. Of course there are even better reasons for ensuring such a large and powerful animal is properly trained. Danes are generally good natured, but you'd be a fool to own one, or any dog of that size, unless you were prepared to train it realy well. Never let her forget who's the boss, and you'll be fine.
