Potty training

Our sweet lil Abigail "Abbie" has been a wonderful addition to our family! We are a bit concerned with her potty patterns. Each morning we remover her from her crate and take her out and she will go tinkle 2 or 3 times, we then bring her in and play with her for a couple of hours and feed her, then take her back out and again she will go tinkle 1 or 2 times and #2 once. We then return her to her crate for a few hours while we work in our shop. In the evenings she will be in our room with us and "need" to go our like every 15 minutes! If we dont take her out she will squat(at which time we say a firm "NO") when we take her out she does go each time at least once(at which time we praise her). Our concern is that she has some type of infection or something. Do puppies (16 wks) need to go out this often? She will last all night in her crate without making a mess. HELP... Im lost on this and worried about Abbie.
