Don't discourage her, but make sure you keep your dog within sight whenever she's out of her crate during the first few days. Your dog may chew, scratch or run indoors where these activities aren't appropriate. By watching your dog closely the first few days, you are always in a position to nip this behavior in the bud. Praise her for this appropriate behavior. Pretty soon, your dog will know which activities result in praise and which result in scolding.
Dogs are creatures of habit.
They will be happiest if their food, water, bathroom break, exercise and play come at the same time every day. Set a schedule as quickly as possible and follow it as closely as possible. One of the most useful tools in setting a schedule is a crate. Once you have taught your dog to view her crate as her den, she will be glad to stay there when you aren't home. This will keep her out of trouble and allow you to control when she eats, runs and eliminates.
