Okay, so I have gated off the kitchen. I made sure all spaces in between and under appliances are filled in so she can't get under or stuck. I made sure there are no cords within 3 feet from the floor or are covered. I sweep it about every day. There are no rugs or 'chewable' things on the floor except her toys and bed.

I would like to give my little one a bit of freedom in the kitchen while I am in other parts of the house (about 30-45 min at a time) since she is doing better at potty training. Eventually, I want her to be a non-crated dog who has full house privileges like my doxie. When she has my full trust on potty training later, of course.

Am I missing anything?
