I have an 18 week old puppy and we crate trained him for the most part. Whenever we were home he was out, plus he is always at my feet... but when he would wander we knew what he was doing. As soon as he would have an accident we would take him outside. He also sleeps in his crate at night and while we are not home... he cries at first when we are leaving to go somewhere, but at night he knows what is going on. It has been really good, now he alerts me when he needs to tinkle by standing by the door and letting out a little cry

. Good luck to you

!! Hope everything turns out great. She will adjust. I usually turn off the TV though so Buff wont hear sounds and think its us, plus if thats something you do together it may confuse your pup.
