Training My Dogs Before Bringing Home A Baby?

Hi Guys,
I have three dogs, all male & all desexed, a golden retriever (4yrs) & two havanese (1.5yrs & 2yrs). My dogs are generally well behaved, they’re all best friends & my golden retriever is the calm assertive leader which is great! I’m 6 months pregnant & am wondering what things I should be taking the time to teach my dogs now that would benefit me for when I bring home my baby? For example, when people come to my door it’s chaos with dogs barking & jumping all over guests – this is something I’ve been working on & will have resolved in time for my baby coming home but it got me thinking what else I could teach them to help prepare?
Any tips would be appreciated.
PS – I am a fan of the dog whisperer already
Thank you!

Puppy Potty Training Tips?

I have an 11week old puppy. When she starts to pace around and sniff, I take her outside to go potty (I also take her outside a while after she eats.) but she never does. She just sits there or walks around. When she was inside the house, she went on the floor. It seems like she’s only comfortable with going potty inside the house, but not outside. Help please!
She is a havanese and coton de tulear mix, by the way

3 Month Old Puppy Questions… Potty Training, Treats, Feeding, Etc…?

I’m having a bit of difficulty getting her to use the training pads, she always pees somewhere else. She is pretty good with going outdoors, but I have to be on top of her taking her out every so often, and she’ll pee on the floor between trips out. I wake up to a few poops every morning, off the pad of course. Is there anything I can do about this? How long on average does it take for the training to sink in? And when will I be able to reward her with treats for going in the appropriate place, and what brands are healthier. One last question, how often should I be feeding her, and how much.
Sorry for the long entry and many questions. I just got a 3 month old havanese two days ago, and I want to the best for her in every way.

Potty Training And Supplies?

I was browsing through some sites and products. I am getting a Havanese/Rat Terrier mix pup. She was abandoned along with 3 siblings at our vets office with a note. They may have a picture of the owner since they cell phone store next door has a camera. Anyway. I was looking with my mom. We want to littertrain (we have bad storms common here) but also train to go out. Our vet suggested using doggy diapers. I looked it up and they seem to be good. I am not a fan of paper training, as any paper on the floor can be confused with the potty pad. I don’t do the bell thing. I am going to crate train her. Her name is Annaleigha Opal. I’ll call he Anna.
So my question: What are your personal experiences with potty pads, litter boxes, and diapers for house training.
My family belives in popping dogs and rubbing in the dogs nose. I want a better alternative. Please be in detail.
Please be in detail in all answers.

Puppy Training?

I have 6 month old Hava-Ton (Coton De Tulear/Havanese Hybrid Puppy) and she is VERY stubborn. If she gets on top of a table and we tell her “off, bad dog, off!” She doesn’t budge! We have also had trouble potty training, and if she gets upstairs she goes potty on the carpet, even though we have had it treated for the smell. We have tried MANY times to potty train her and train her in general. Any tips of how to break her stubbornness and get her trained? Also, we do not believe in harsh punishments, like choke collars, shock collars, stepping on paws, or sticking her nose in an accident. Thanks in advanced!!!

Potty Training A 8 Month Havanese?

hi
my grandma just got a 8 month old havanese male.
This dog is great, it follows her everywhere, doesnt bark, wont run away off leash.
But the problem is it goes to the bathroom in the house.
The poo is like rocks (is that ok) so thats easy to get rid of but the pee is a lot harder to deal with.
She had him outside off leash for 20 minutes, then brought him inside and he immediatly peed on the carpet.
He has only gone once on his pee pad.
My grandma lives in a loft like thing, and she is getting http://www.hammacher.com/publish/74967.a… for it to go on on her tiny porch
