I'd add one point to ScootieBootie's post:

If your dog is whining and you let her out because you're convinced she has to go to the bathroom, then I would 1) take her straight to her bathroom area, 2) give her no more than 2-3 minutes to go, and 3) if she doesn't go, put her right back in the crate for 30 minutes or so and repeat the steps. That way, there is less likelihood that she's giving you a false potty alarm just to get outside.
