I think that is excellent advice - keeping a pup on a schedule if you can. This SO worked for our little Mango, except that I do give her water until 9PM. She eats at the same time every day and that way, I can predict with fair accuracy when she will poop. After 6 weeks at home she is almost totally potty trained, has less than one accident a week during the past two.
I should add that we live in a house with a yard and doggie run, so I know this is easier than being in an apartment style home where you might have to take the little one outside the building to go potty.
I just wanted to add that when I take her out potty, I use the same command every time and praise/kiss her when she responds by eliminating. We say, "Mango, go wee-wee"; she now will pee totally on command.
Mango turns 4 months old today. She weighs 2.2 lbs. If your baby is much smaller, perhaps it is harder to hold it in.
