HOUSEBREAKING YOUR PUPPY
KEY WORD: Consistency! Google & People may say the small dogs can be impossible to potty train. We disagree! We think if you can train an owner, you can train a puppy. The following are our suggestions to the best method for housebreaking a Fuzzypup!
-what does in must come out. Therefore, please put your puppy on a feeding schedule. As he is growing, he needs breakfast, lunch and dinner. Around 4-6 months of age s/he will probably start ignoring lunch, so you no longer need it. However, make sure you increase his breakfast & dinner portions.
-We recommend & use "NutriSource small/medium breed puppy food", however, any Super Premium dof food should work. NOTE* quality dog food is essential in housebreaking. Poor quality dog food can cause a digestive problems &n make housebreaking a nightare! www.nutrisourcedogfood.com (click this link & enter zip location nearerst you).

HAVANESE: - 1/4 -1/3 cup dry kibble mixed with 1 tbs wet additive.
WHEATEN: - 1/3 - 1/2 cup dry kibble mixed with 2-3 TBS wet additive.
WET ADDITIVE: canned pumpkin, baby food, yogurt (vanilla), cottage cheese, canned chicken, rice, canned tuna. By adding the wet to the dry, you will help puppy process his meal faster & s/he will poop faster.
- If puppy stops eating or isn't much, try less kibble more wet additive. *NOTE* A puppy who wakes up with a too empty tummy will throw up yellow bile. If this happens, give your puppy a tablespoon or 2 of yogurt, cottage cheese, canny puppy food or even vanilla ice cream before he goes to bed.
NOTE* DIET PRODUCTS CAN BE POISON! AVOID ANYTHING WITH ARTIFICIAL SUGAR OR SUGAR SUBSTITUTES. ALSO, AVOID LOW FATS; USE 4% COTTAGE CHEESE, NOT LOW FAT.
Keep a diary for the first couple weeks, and note when puppy is voiding. That will help you learn his schedule. He will be very consistent, so if you pay attention, he will train you to his needs.
KENNEL TRAINING: Feed puppy. Then put puppy in kennel for 60 mins. After 60 mins take him out for him to void out his meal. Use a command each time you take him out so he knows the purpose of his visit to the outdoors. If he does not void right away, get him moving by playing with him. This will help to get those bowels moving. If doesn't void within 10 minutes. Continue the 10 minutes in kennel/10 minutes put him/her back in kennel another for another him praise and a treat, and allow another 5 minutes or so tho make sure this is the whole of his void. By writing down what tie fed & what time voided by the end of the week - 2 week should know puppies schedule.
If puppy is doing the turn around in a circle he either has to go potty or is going to go to sleep. Give hi the benefit of the doubt & take him to go potty.
Take puppy out every 2 hrs regularly to go potty.
Each time puppy voids where he should, give lots of excited praise, & a treat. Puppies, like children, learn from positive reinforcement & praise when they do what is right. Never, every yell, beat, rub nose, etc. a puppy who has an accident inside. He will just think he is not supposed to void, & have more accidents while trying not to do what is normal for him to do.
