congrats pinky and charly!
what size is her crate? when she's in her crate you only need enough space for her to lay down.

if it's too big, then maybe make a bit of a barrier. leave her in there for napping or when you are not playing with her.

when you take her out, immediately take her to her potty place and get her to go. praise and treat when she potties in the right place.
after playing with her, take her to her potty place. praise and treat when she goes. you will do this ALL the time at first (20 mins or so).

it takes a while.
but you can do it.

at least you aren't having to take a spoo puppy outside in freezing temps and snow in the hardest winter in 20 years like i did last winter. ugh. argh. *whine*
