As far as feeding, Do you know what her weight is? what ever food you are giving her, if it's dry food, it should have on the bag how much food to feed for dog of her weight. This is just a GUIDE line, she may need more or less then what is on the bag. You can also ask your Vet as this pup could be under weight or over weight. For example, if it reads 1 cup daily, divide that in 2, then feed 1/2 cup in the morning, and 1/2 a cup in the evening, Keep her on a feeding schedule. Example...I feed Cody every morning at 7AM then at 5PM, feeding on a schedule will help you in knowing appox. when she will need to potty. Dogs are creatures of habit, once you start something, they EXPECT it. If you want her to potty outdoors that has to also be scheduled. Feed a same time both morning then at night. After she eats wait 20 minutes then take her outdoors. Times differ with all dogs, so it's a trial and error period until you find out how long she needs before she is ready to potty. Some dogs it may be 30 minutes, some can be 10 minutes after eating. If she is a outdoor potty dog, when you take her out, it is ti POTTY, not a play time, so no playing, tell her what you want her to do, poo poo or pee pee or what ever words you choose. Cody now pees or poops on command lol. Good Luck, it may take time but she will get it.
