It sounds like you are dong great. Keeping her confined when you can't watch her, tieing her to you, taking her out on a schedule...those are all things I've heard from seasoned mommies. I am certainly no expert. I put a belly band on my male (I got him when he was 5), and my girl rings the bell (everytime she wants me to do
anything for her).

Suffice it to say...they have me trained.
Anyway, welcome. This is a fantastic place to learn all about our beloved babies.
