    This video was so helpful. Our 8 week, home 1 week, Havanese knows the potty command! I cycle through crate time, playpen time, lap time, and outside time. Your recommended structure from the "taking your puppy home video" works perfectly. At what age can I advance him around the house with more trust & freedom? I don't want to risk accidents as he's doing so well right now this way. Thank you for your calm and firm training. I love it.

      It’s going okay. The best advise from the vet was to crate him 2 hours in the morning and afternoon. He has learned to hold it longer. Now I leave him in the crate up to 3 hours and he seems to be just fine. He can probably hold longer but I haven’t tried. He goes outside but I also use training pads with a tray with a mesh cover over it. I also use “Go here” spray. It seems to help a lot. Good luck with your puppy. 😊

      @@WittleHavanese Hi. Thank you. Yes it did. We live on the 3rd floor so have been getting quite a bit if exercise lol. But he seems to sleep through the night and usually we can bring him out when he wakes up in time to get him inside to pee and sometimes poop too. We tried a small crate and it didn't work well. So we decided to try a small crate that opens up to a play pen which works well. He no longer poops in the house. When he can't hold his pee and we can't get to him in time he will pee on puppy pads in his play pen and we also leave pads outside of play pen in kitchen gated area which he usually finds. Once in a while he has a mistake and misses pad or goes on floor. But great improvements. He is now 11 weeks old ☺️

    This video is perfect. I was able to make the screen no problem. I brought home a 9 week old puppy last week and am training him to use the puppy box 100%. My yard is large for a Havanese, but the fencing is not completely enclosed and I don't want him getting out or getting hurt. I put him in the puppy box after taking him from the crate and soon after eating. He goes pee immediately after 1 week of excessive praise. His poop schedule is a little unpredictable so we've had accidents. How can I get him to go in the puppy box on his own when he has to pee instead of me picking him up and placing him in the puppy box?

      Yes once he’s vaccinated and gets his rabies vaccination with supervision it will be safe disease wise. The only concern would be animals trying to take him since he’s small. That’s where supervision comes in. 🙂 just make sure he’s not trying to eat any dead animals.

      Yes. Constant food and water will be need for constant potty breaks. A potty box is sooo soo good for these tiny puppies until they get a bit bigger. Or limiting food. Offer food 3-4 times a day depending on your puppy. And water with food. That will help you find a better schedule. Or keep an eye out when puppy eats or drinks and offer potty option shortly after.

  • @derekpaddon9553
    @derekpaddon9553 Год назад

    Every dog is different . Just have to follow what suits your dog. Sometimes a dog will whine and if you keep showing up everytime it whines even if its to correct her or not they know whining gets you to them so anytime they want to see you they whine.
    I think the biggest thing youre doing here and the KEY to doing ANYTHING in training with a dog is CONSISTENCY alot of people are all over the place with their schedules and training of a dog and wonder why their dog is so horribly mannered. Chances are its the owner not being consistent with them in the beggining. If you want a dog to learn something all you have to do is be consistent with whatever it is for a few days straight and that dog will fall into the routine. Dogs actuallly love routines. It gives them something to look forward to and they dont have to whine because they know .. say they see the sun coming up and you always get your dog when the sun comes up they will know youre coming soon and wont be a big deal to whine.. Say you always get your dog out of the cage after you start a pot of coffee every morning... they will learn the noise of the coffee maker and know its almost time for them to come out ... they learn EVERYTHING. so the key to a good small havanese is ROUTINE and CONSISTENCY

      Also a good way to tell is to look under. Havanese have a bit of hair there so you should be able to tell if you wipe with a little toilet paper or look.
      They do a very short squat and their legs go wider.
      How soon after coming in do they pee or poop again?

I take her out every hour during the day and yet she still has accidents in the apartment. I have set up a potty spot (a patch of artificial grass with a doggie diaper underneath) on the balcony, even added potty training drops, but she won't go there to potty. I would like her to use the balcony on days when the weather is really bad and cold but I don't know how to get her used to go there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also how long till they can hold it during the night for like 6 or 7 hours? Thank you!!!

      Have you set a potty command in place with her that she understands?
      Any accidents she has inside be sure to clean well.
      Also use a paper towel to soak up from the accident and place it under the potty patch. So it will have her scent.
      Usually around 4-5 months puppies do well with one long stretch at night.

      @@WittleHavanese thank you for your reply. I have a potty command and I've done all that. But she still doesn't go to the balcony when she can't wait to go outside although we take her every hour... what I did is now she's allowed in the house for half an hour after we come in and then she goes in the pen, where she doesn't go potty. I would like to have her around the house more but as I said she doesn't use the balcony just goes wherever - all over the place since I do clean it well and I have put away all the carpets. At least night-time is not a problem anymore which is great 😃🐾

    Hi! Thank you for your terrific videos! We’re on Day 3 with a 9 week old puppy, and she is whining profusely at night. We keep her in a crate downstairs, and take her out every 3-4 hours like in your video. Any advice? The only thing that calms her down is to lay down beside her crate for a little while, but we don’t want to create bad habits. Thank you

He now hides or waits until I leave the room to pee/poop, probably bc of me saying NO every time he went inside. Idk what to do, I take him outside and stay forever waiting and the minute we go inside and I turn my back to wash my hands or something THEN he goes potty 😭😭😭 I’m desperate!

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад +1

      The trick with this method is to always wait until they go. They learn their potty command to go on command and empty their bladder so that eventually as soon as you give them the command as puppies they walk out and go potty.

    My havanese is 3 months old I just got her recently. I go to work sometimes not gone all day but when I leave I leave floor pads in my room. I do take her outside sometimes to pee/poo but idk if she might be use to doing it more on the pads? Only cause she doesn’t really do her business outside but she plays.. tips on breaking room habits? ALSO, I have 2 other dogs that are use to going outside in the yard by themselves to do their thing do I let her out with them or separate for now?

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад +1

      The potty command helps greatly. And yes if you trust the other two dogs around the new puppy they will definitely show her how it’s done! Dogs follow their pack so that would be great for her. Congrats on your new Havanese!

    Is it okay to have the crate in my room where they can see me? Or should I put them in a place where they can’t see me? I’m just wondering because there is no good place where I could put the crate where she can’t see me and I would be able to hear the puppy whining to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. In that case should I wake up every few hours and if they are asleep, wait a few more? Would love advice for what’s best! Thanks!

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад

      Yes it is fine to be within the sight of your crates pup. I would wake every 2-3 hours for a brand new puppy on alarm and take them even if they haven’t whined. If puppy whines to go out and wakes you just be sure to only open the door when they are calm and not crying. And be sure to use the potty command so they know they are coming out for a potty break and not to play at night.

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад +1

      For accidents I try and catch them mid act and make them stop and go finish outside. If it already happened and I didn’t see it I just clean with a product like natures miracle or vinegar. Using a potty command and praising when it’s done outside will help them understand that they did something correct and when you stop them inside and make them go outside they see that inside is bad.

      It depends on the pup. You can push the time out to their tolerance. I believe Stormy took until 4 months old to go through the night with the rest of the dogs.

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад +1

      Typically you can start with every 2-3 hours. But you’ll want to not watch the clock and teach your puppy or learn their potty cue. Some teach a bell or button but most dogs will start to go by the door to signal they want to go out.

      Wittle Havanese - At night I plan to take the puppy in the backyard for potty breaks as it is fenced. Even once trained, I’d like to let him out in out (for potty breaks) in the backyard - especially when unsupervised. Again, because it is fenced. But when I take him out to play and for a walk in the neighborhood, how will he know that he can also relieve himself there? Do I use the same potty cue for it?

    Is she in a crate enclosure outside to potty? We live on 8 acres & I’m trying to figure out how to housebreak our 12 week old Havanese. I don’t want her running all over bc it’s not safe. Do you keep her in crate all day & take out to potty?

    • @WittleHavanese
      @WittleHavanese  4 года назад +1

      Yes. We have a pretty good sized property but we have this crate material fencing from Lowe’s! It’s really cool because you move it and it stakes into the ground easily or it can be like a playpen too.
      I crate a lot but not all day this young. At 12 weeks you should be able to take out to potty and let play for about an hour safely. I recommend supervised. 🙂

      Usually around 4-5 months they can do a good night stretch consistently. But I’ve seen some do it younger. So you’ll just have to follow your pups cues. They will let you know how long they go. Thank you so much for watching!

      So do you need to get up every four hours until she’s 4-5 months old? Or is there a point where she’s no longer crated at night and comes to get you? Or if using a potty box, is free to use that during the night? Or do you always keep her crated at night?
      As a child, we never used crates for our dogs, so it’s new to me.

      You can always put your pup in a bigger one. But that’s all the room she needed at night to help her potty train. She could stand up in there no problem. She was 4lbs. As she got bigger she got a larger crate. Don’t worry. 🐾💜
