I think potty schedules are the most important at first. I let mine out first thing in the morning, shortly after each feeding and right before bed. If they didn't go after a feeding, they returned to their xpen for an hour and then got another potty break.
Walk schedules are also good to have. I found that if the pup knows that they can burn off their excess energy at certain times of day, they're less likely to get into trouble around the house.
Good luck!
