We noticed Hot Rod pooping first thing and about 4/5 in afternoon. We made sure to take him out at those times. I would try crating or using the xpen.
Yes, I do notice that she poops first thing and at least 2-3 more times during the day.

I have her xpen set up in the kitchen now. I moved her bed, dishes, and safe toys in there. She seems a little upset and anxious, but is ok. Do you think it would still work if I let her have the kitchen for about 20 min after pottying, then go in xpen for 40 min, then potty again? This way, she still gets plenty of chances to get attention and to play with our doxie?

(LOL as Im typing this, my cat jumped in there with her and layed down, guess the kitty likes the pen.)
