Havanese Training OR Behavior Problems?
Put the dog on a leash and walk it several times a day at or about the same time everyday.Even if its just around and around your yard.When the dog takes care of its business lots of praise or doggy treat you should see improvement in two weeks or less.Get rid of pad hes not a puppy anymore.Well you can read anything but a dog is a dog they all need training,thats your job.Good luck with your beautiful dog!
You may need to confine her to just the kitchen or one room with baby gates until she is housebroken, then slowly open her access as she gets better. Be patient small dogs are sometimes harder to housebreak! Make sure you clean up the urine with a pet product so she can no longer smell the old pee which would encourage her to urinate there. Then encourage her to ‘go potty’ a half hour after food or water and treat her when she does it on the pad. Have you tried using a crate??
havanese are hard to house break. i pet sit two and the first one was easy but his brother (same dad different mom) is 9mo. old and still not house broke. the vet. said he has a very small bladder and the owner went back to her havanese books and it said they are hard to potty train. they were just lucky with the first one.
i’m not a fan of pittle pads the pup doesn’t know the difference between the pad,newspaper,or anything else on the floor or the carpet. if you take them out to do their business the get the difference.
Using piddle pads is teaching them to go inside!
Your whole house is her bathroom.
You need to start over from scratch.
Get her a crate, pick up food and water at least 2 hours before bedtime, just before you put her to bed, in her crate, take her outside, wait till she goes, then calmly praise her and put to bed. First thing when she wakes up in the AM, take her out, wait for it, praise.
Keep her either confined to a small area when you can’t watch her, or in the same room with you when you can, when you see the circling and sniffing behavior, or see her start to squat, scoop her up, outside, wait for it, praise.
If she has an accident do NOT make any kind of deal over it, no scolding, nothing, just clean it up and watch her closer.
