To help with getting her on a schedule, itd be better to feed on a routine. I feed at 8:30a and 7p. Dogs go out before and after they eat. It helps to make sure there are no accidents. Just set her bowl down for 15 min, let her eat what she wants (might be more with the 'special' pumpkin on it) and then pick up the bowl and wait until the next feeding time. She'll figure out that she needs to eat at these times and it will be easier on you to know when she needs to go.
