Have you tried putting the cage next to your bed? She might need that sense of being near someone. I've tried moving his crate to the other side of the room at night and he's not a fan of it at all so I keep it next to the bed.
Also, I don't know if you're having trouble with him just whining in the crate because he doesn't want to be in there, but my parents trainer told them to put the crate next to the bed with a blanket over it turn out the lights and when the puppy starts whining to give it a little shake..that way they associate the whining with the shaking..and the blankets obviously so they don't know you're doing it

This has been pretty successful for us and it's weeded out the i don't want to be in here whining from the i have to go potty whining
We feed Kasey 3 times a day too, one at 7am..one around 12 or 1pm and then the third around 530pm I've only been feeding him 1/2 cup each time, but now that he's turned 3 months I'm weening him off the three meals to give him a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. If he's hungry I usually give him a half cup in the afternoon..He's not one to gobble his food down in one sitting so if he says he's hungry i know he's genuinely hungry lol
How's everyone doing with potty training?? One day Kasey is fine no messes and the next it's like he forgot he's supposed to go outside! lol last night I took him out he did his business and then he came back in was playing around ..stopped..got up and peed on the floor not even 10 minutes after i had just brought him from outside lol. I heard they are a tough breed to potty train..any pointers ???
