I seem to be getting different stories from everybody she is 3.5 months old. She is in the crate from 7-12 until when I get home to clean her and then I return at 4 from work.

lol that tends to happen on here

You just have to go with what you feel best doing- because at the end of the day she is your pup.

lolz. i totally understand you. I was confused with everything and what everyone was telling until I decided to take a little of everyone's advice and create my own system for him. Charlie is my first puppy so it was probably difficult for me. You know your little one best so you have to create a system that will work for you and your little one. The most important thing to remember is to reward for good potty behavior and to keep a schedule..having a feeding and potty schedule will help a lot.

I was thinking of doing this schedule for her. But I'm not sure. I read somewhere that its good to crate them for 10-15mins after eating that way they settle there food to get ready to go potty.. I could be wrong

5:30am wake up take Roxy to pee pee
5:35am give her food and water
5:50am crate her for 10-15mins
6:05am potty
6:10am-6:30am crate while I get dressed
6:30am-6:50am playtime
6:50am-11:30am crate (mommy goes to work)
11:30am-12:00pm potty, playtime try to feed
12:00pm-4:15pm crate mommy back to work
4:15pm potty
4:15pm-7:00pm crate mommy goes to studio
7:00pm-8:00pm potty, dinner
8:00pm-8:45pm crate (mommy n daddy dinnertime)
8:45pm Potty
8:45pm-10:00pm playtime
10:00pm potty, crate bedtime
