Dog keeps doing his business by the AC unit

My wife plus I decided to adopt a new puppy last month, plus she is actually driving me crazy.

She is only 6 months old, plus she is still potty training.

I can get her to go outside to pee plus poop, however she keeps squatting right next to the AC unit. Last year alone, I stepped in a pile of poop twice. One of those times, I was performing routine maintenance on the AC unit. I was using the leaf blower to remove the tree plus leaf debris from the AC unit. Both of us had a tremendous storm plus a lot of tree foliage fell in the backyard. I was using the leaf blower plus did not even see the sizable pile of pet poop right next to the AC unit. I stepped in the pile, plus tracked the stuff all over the side of the deck. I have to find a way to keep the puppy from going to the bathroom on the concrete deck. I know she loves to play in the shrubbery, plus I don’t understand why she won’t use the bathroom there. If I have to walk her on a leash, then she will lose out on play time in the backyard. She loves to play Under the red tree plus drink from the pool. She loves to sit in the Sun, plus play by the palm trees. I want her to have fun playing outside, despite the fact that I need to train her to use the shrubbery, leaves, plus dirt.
