You want to take her outside at least once an hour when she is out of the crate. As soon as she goes to the bathroom take her outside and leave her there for 5-10 minutes. It is also important to get the enzyme cleaner and clean up every area she has used in the house. As for the crying that is up to you. If you want a bed companion for the next 15 years then give in to the crying.

That is what I told my husband—we can wash the floor with all the detergent we want, but they can still smell it, and we need to buy that special chemical that erases the smell for them and wash the floor—with a clean mop head—with that.

Thanks for the advice! :)

Six weeks old and never been away from her litter mates? Of course she's crying.

Dufarge gave in to our female black Lab puppie's squalling and let the pup (Gina) up onto the bed to stop it. Fine when she was an eight pound puppy, not so much when Gina was an eighty-five pound adult, just waiting for one of us to open an eye. Then, kaboom, onto the bed, wiggle around enough so she had the lion's share. What a dope!

God, I miss that dog...
