Does A Havanese Dog Shed Their Fur When They Are In Heat?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
We are about to get our Havanes dog. She is 14 months ago and no longer able to participate in dog shows because of her fur. The breeder said that she has “blown” her fur because she is was just in heat. What does this mean? Am I using the correct terminology?
How Can I Get My Dog To Pay Attention To Me When I Am Trying To Train Her?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
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

Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have a 7 month old Havanese and the breeded tells me to not have her spayed until 12 -18 months old. The vet says before 9 months. Who do I listen to? And what is best for this breed?
How Can I Stop My 5 Month Old Puppy’s Screaming When Put In Kennel At Bf’s House For Nighttime?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
5 mo. house trained Havanese. It took about 2 mo. for her to not cry & learn to be kennel trained for sleeping at my house- she’s an angel there now.
When I go to my BFs, she LITERALLY SCREAMS when we put her in her kennel at night. I bring the same 1 she uses from home to BF’s place. I’m at his home 2 weekends/month for 1-2 nights. His bedroom is upstairs & we put her in the 1st fl. dining room. B/c we have allergies/asthma, she can’t sleep in our bed. I would also prefer that she/the kennel weren’t in the bedroom at night so we have1 safe-zone. Also, it doesn’t seem worth it since during the 1st wks I put her/ the kennel in my bedroom at night and she still cried, so I moved her to another room in the apt and ignored the cries (unless I thought something was wrong).
I think she might be a crier in general – if she’s not in the same room as me, she cries/screams but doesn’t destroy things-but not at night in kennel anymore.
Any suggestions? PLS HELP me make my pup&BF happy!
