First of all, congratulations on the new addition! Also, welcome! I cant wait to see pictures of her!

Well done on the house traiing, that's a brillianet start, I hope it continues for you! But if if does take a dip (and more often than not it does! lol) dont panic, it's only natural. If you want to reward her, I'd just give lots, and lots of praise personally. A great food reward I discovered when my Chi was training was baked, chopped liver. Now I know that might sound a bit yucky, but I guarantee it, your pup will adore it! All you do is bake a large piece of liver in the oven and then, with scissors, snip it into tiny, bite size pieces. If you make them small enough it wont fill her. Another trick is to only use this treat as a reward for training so she associates something she really loves with training. More likely to get the result you desire!

All pups will cry at first when you start to use a crate, just give her time. It's still very early days and I expect she just needs time to settle in. Using a crate at night, and when you cant be with her, is an excellent idea while you're house training! Keep up the good work hon, you're doing brillaintly!
