At her age, she is still going to have accidents. Most puppies need to go out first thing in the morning and just before bedtime. During the day, she will need to go out about 20-30 minutes after meals or play and after she naps. Watch for signs that she needs to go out. This may include whining, circling or sniffing about. If she is crated, the general guideline is to crate her for no longer than 1 hour per month of age plus 1 hour before letting her out for relief. This means she should not be crated for more than 4 hours without a potty break. To feed her, you can use the guidelines on the bag of food. Divide the total amount into 3-5 feedings throughout the day.
