first of all, get a crate that is only big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around, and lie down in. if there is all this extra room in the crate she will poop in one end and sleep in the other. i recamend a wire crate with a devider. you can buy them at almost any petstore.

since you work a full time job, and can only come take the dog out once i would buy an exercise pen from a petstore and put it in your kitchen or other room with hard floors. put newspaper in one corner of the X-pen so she has something to go on, and it's easier to clean up.

having a puppy costs a bunch of money, but once you get past the housebreaking stage it's more fun.

oh yeah, if your puppy is barking and throwing a fot in her crate, DO NOT take her out! she will QUICKLY realise that if she barks long enough and loud enough she will get out.

hope this helps.
