    We have two Havanese dogs: Lola, who is 10, and Paco, who is nearly 3. Both of these dogs bark incessantly. We used to live in a freestanding house and just put up with it, but now we live in a townhouse and our new neighbors are not happy about the noise. Both dogs bark long and loudly when...

    I got my new 13 week old Havanese puppy Joey a week ago. We have been trying to crate train him but having difficulties at night. The first night Joey was so sleepy he went right to bed and didn’t whine or bark until 4 am when he was ready to go potty and wake up. The second night he barked and...

    Hi! I have a question— does Gracie bark? Higgins started barking recently and it’s horrible. Inside we can curb it by putting him in the bathroom with the lights off if he doesn’t quiet with “no barking!” Happy high pitched voice / treat. Outside I can do that if I am ahead of seeing another...

    Ponyo is currently 9 weeks old and we've been having a lot of barking/whining/needy issues. Bedtime is proving to be very difficult and also hard on our bodies, since we have been getting little to no sleep. So I hope someone can give advice on what to do. First part of the problem is that...

    Hi everyone. I'm Laura and I just joined this forum. I lost my dog at the end of July and am starting to think about getting another dog someday. I'm not ready now but I enjoy researching things and planning well before I jump into something. So I have been reading a lot about Havanese and think...

    Alright, here we are on day 6 of having Kipper. Overall he's a sweet boy and since I don't know much about his background, I guess things could be worse. Of course, as a first-time dog owner and person with a Type-A personality, I am constantly worried about all these issues. But I guess I'll...

    Hi all, Archer continues to do well at 6 mos. There are a couple little things that have reared their head though. I need to continue to work on desensitizing him to having his head touched/worked on, which is harder since he is teething now so I am giving that a bit of a break. But also- he...

    Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I last posted, but I've kept up with all your helpful tips and advice :) Bunsen has developed this incredibly annoying habit of barking or gnawing/tugging on me when I'm on the phone. Since I work from home, its pretty imperative that he behaves—I've so far...

    Hi folks! My 1-yr old Mr. Olive just got neutered. His behavior has changed somewhat since the surgery and I was hoping to hear a bit about others' experiences. Prior to his surgery, he was relatively quiet - we live in an apartment building and he would occasionally let out a single bark or...

    We've had Moose for almost a week now (he's now 9 weeks old), and anytime he isn't physically able to touch us, he whines, cries, and/or barks. We have a baby gate set up in the entry way to keep him on the linoleum, and even if we are sitting directly on the other side of the gate, he will act...

    Hi all! My pup Olive is now 3.5 months old. On weekdays, my gf and I have to wake up at 6:30 for work. She sets an alarm for that time and then hits snooze once or twice. Olive has gotten into the habit of starting to whine after the first alarm goes off. He sleeps in his ex-pen with his crate...

Now out of the blue he's starting to bark for attention. This will usually happen if one of us is in...

We love him to pieces already and he gives us sooo much love! I am stressing over a little behavior that I would love some feed...

    Hello! I'm looking for some advice to train my new havanese, who is super sweet to everyone except my grumpy roommate... which of course makes him grumpier. Here's the story: I got my first havanese a few weeks ago, she's almost 9 months but didn't get much human socialization in the early...

    We are currently working on barking, grumbling, grrsssss, or whatever Dexter decides he wants to talk about while waiting for a command or treat. It is working! We are turning our backs to Dexter for about 10 seconds, then turning back facing Dexter and if he is quiet, he will receive a...

    Dexter has found his barking voice! If he hear something out of the ordinary he will bark, bark at neighbors across the street, bark at strange noises in the house, just everything........... We are slowly calming him down because the barks are getting softer and he will quit. I am doing the...

    I do not understand the barking when training. It is if Dexter is trying to tell me something.... I will tell him to sit, he sits, lay down, he lays down....gets all excited, then starts barking. What's with that?
