I Am Trying To Convince My Parents To Get Me A Havanese. Any Suggestions?

I am 12, with an 8-year old sister. My parents are hesitant, and I need help!

How Can I Get My Dog To Pay Attention To Me When I Am Trying To Train Her?

We have a 5 month-old Yorkie/Pom/Havanese cross, and we have only had her for 1 month. She was a pet store dog, and she was really sick when we got her, and was difficult to train once she got better, but all of her bad habits have been resolved…except for 2! One is that she does not make eye contact or respond when we get after her or call her name. We have tried EVERYTHING, from a horn to a clicker, to that “psshhht” noise that the Dog Whisperer (Cesar Millan) uses. Most dogs would cower when they are getting in trouble or know they are doing something bad. She just thinks it’s funny, and tries to engage playing. That is the other habit that we are having a problem with. She is really “bitey” all the time, moreso than just regular puppy play. If we are on the phone or walking out of the room, she follows us around and bites us on the back of the legs! And if we get after her, she snaps her teeth and jumps up to bite our faces! It’s not an aggressive bite, but we’ve tried everything

I Have A 11 Week Old Havanese/shih Tzu And I Am Trying To Kennel Train Him, Am I Doing Anything Wrong?

I have had him for 8 days.
so i put him in there at night when we are sleeping, i wake up once through the night to take him out to go pee, and he has been doing ok with that for the last 2 nights.
in the morning (5:30am) i take him out first thing and he goes pee and i praise him.
i bring him down for a nap around 11am for 2 hours and that’s when the crazy barking happens, i give him a bone or something to chew on and he has a toy, he plays and pee’s b4 he goes in.
then i take hime out to go pee + praise and then around 6:00pm i put him back in for 1 hour, after lots of play and cuddles through the day.
then bedtime is usually around 10:30 and then we start all over again.
He barks alot during the day but only a little bit through the night. (he did bark lots through the night b4 but it’s gotten better)
I feed him three times a day and i make sure he has poo’d b4 i put him in the kennel. So am i doing everything ok? is it going to stop soon? will he ever be kennel trained?
