She is 12 weeks old. I have had her for 4 weeks. I have been crate training her. I take her out every 45 min - 1 hour when shes awake.

-She knows what is expected of her when I take her out.
-She pees on command or as soon as I take her out.
-She goes 8 hours at night without whining to potty now. She used to wake up at 4am, but hasnt for a week.

But

-She will still just pee or poop when she feels like it in the kitchen.
-She doesnt tell me yet she has to go.

Do you think this is good progress? I wish I knew something to do that would make it just click for her, or will that just happen on its own over time?
