Thanks for the great suggestions.
I've been crating her since earlier (woohoo! LOL) and took her outside twice. She peed once (I rewarded/praised) and just sniffed around the other time.
I have her crated again but wonder when and how long should I let her out? So for feeding should I just take her to her bowl and water and then when she seems "done" re-crate her? During crate-training should I let her have her gated kitchen time? I know if I do, she'll pee and poo! I have a book I've been reading on crate-training but it's still so confusing!!!
