Re: pooooooo !!
I agree with pretty much what has been said - you should be aiming to take her outside after every meal and at least once an hour during the day. And lots of praise and rewards when she gets it right and goes outside.
Re night-time - my two were both in crates at night as puppies, small enough to just have their bed in. As dogs won't generally soil their bed (unless they're ill) they either hold it or tell you they need to go out. With Freddie he never once woke us up in the night, but as soon as he knew we were awake (they sleep in our room) he would wimper and we would take him outside straight away. And we got him at 8 weeks. Darcey who we got at 6 weeks probably woke us up a couple of times a week for the first few weeks but very quickly would sleep through. We may just have been lucky but I do advocate crate training as it has worked really well for us.
