Well I have basically been doing that. She goes out frequently through out the day. When she is in the house she wears a diaper....like the ones girls where if they are in heat. If we are gone for a period of time she stays in her crate and when we come back home is immediately taken outside for potty time....She still manages to poop when she wears a diaper...but we are getting used to her schedule. I have started to take up food around 7pm...she goes first thing in the morning...once a day.
I guess my real issue is whe want to get up so early to go out like 3am or 4am or at the latest 5am....
I have just started putting the food up after 7 or 8pm so maybe this will help.
