Potty Training my EBD

Question
I have a 12 week old English bulldog,Harlee.  I have had her since she was 8 wks.  I work very close to where I live and am able to go home often through out the day to let her out.  I have not crate trained up to this point, the longest she is left alone is two hours.  She stays in my bedroom during the day and only uses her puppy pads.  I feed her three times a day as much as she can eat in 10 minutes and she has water out until 7 PM when I pick it up.  
I have two questions; 1.)Should I begin to crate train her when I do not feel that she is doing horrible on her potty training.  She has almost no accidents when I am home at night and uses the puppy pads during the day.  2.)How often she I come home to let her out?

Answer
You're doing all the right things. There's no need to crate train her unless you're having problems. However, I do feel that crate training is great in case there's ever a necessity for having to leave her for extended period unattended.

My suggestion would be to feed her for no later than around 5. This will help with any night time accidents and pick up her water at 6. There are no "rules" for raising puppies. What works best for you is the right thing to do.
