Putting the dog in the back yard teaches her nothing. She has no idea why you want her out there unless you stay out there and praise and treat every single potty.
Dogs aren't spiteful. They're not mentally capable of it. She isn't housetrained, she needs way more exercise and way more training. You're blaming her for your own deficiencies as an owner.
Get out there and walk! Treadmills are not the same as walks. Walking not only physically exercises a dog, it mentally exercises a dog. 30% of a dog's brain is devoted to smell. What smells are there on a treadmill? Dogs need walks. The thing is, so do humans. Walking won't just make your dog behave better, it will improve your heart, blood pressure, joint function and overall mental health. (Walking is as effective for depression as prozac, and prozac is very effective.)
Get off the internet, give your dog a pat and put on your shoes!
