One of the most common reasons why your dog won't pee in rain is simply because they don't like being rained on or having wet paws. If your dog is young, they simply might not have had enough exposure to the elements, and because of this, they're more likely to push back when you try to get them to use the bathroom.
Do dogs hate pooping in the rain?

Where do I take my dog to pee if its raining?
Adding an awning, opening a patio umbrella, or even directing her near your roofline might help. You might want to even consider spreading a tarp over part of your yard when it rains to keep one area clean and dry for when it's time to go.
