DJ wanting to be anywhere to get comfortable. I guess the toy box works for a bit. On puppy watch!

When you have a dog that throws her own toys, you never know where you’ll find a duck.

Update: Cosmo will be joining one of our PT Newfie families! Thanks everyone for all the interest. You're the best!

Hoping our Facebook family can help out. Due to a medical situation with the owners, Cosmo's family needs to rehome him. He will be 1 year old in March, is neutered, UTD on vaccines and in perfect health. I can give more info if you message me. There will be a rehoming fee. Ideally pick up would be at the owners home in Pittsburgh, but we can make arrangements if necessary. Message me if interested.

Elijah joined us for our annual Christmas Tree trek. He preferred to run through the snow, not ride in the tree sled.

Maybe I should have introduced them to Hermie first.

Happy 6th birthday to our spunky, attention loving Priscilla. Our curly girl is enjoying her retirement and had a spa day today - looking as pretty as ever.

It's the 8th anniversary of the big three! In 2016 Tozer and Jules had puppies a day apart, with Maddie deliveringjust a week later. So I whelped 2 litters, hosted Thanksgiving, whelped another litter, cared for 3 litters and celebrated Christmas. A total of 20 puppies. Crazy times! But the grandkids loved it. Some of them spent more time in puppy pens than with the family. Happy 8th birthdays everyone!

JoJo's litter is our last of 2024. This girl is the only one left and ready to go now. She is quiet one, loving and very sweet. Message me if you'd like more details.

Update: The male will be going to his family Friday. Only little girl left.

It’s puppy take home week! Puppies will be going to forever homes this week. Always fun to see excited families get their puppies.

I do have 1 male & 1 female still waiting for a home. Both are sweet, quiet, cuddly, classic Havanese. Message me for details.

I'm adding this to my puppy packs, but for those of you currently training a pup this is great info. Just because Havanese are people oriented, velcro dogs does not mean they will have separation anxiety.

•Pet your dog, all the time
•Talk to your dog, all the time
•Allow your dog to follow you, all the time
•Allow your dog to be on your lap or laying on your feet, all the time
•Pet, soothe, comfort your dog when it whines or barks for attention...or is simply anxious
•Allow your dog to demand affection/interactions
•Be emotionally dependent on your dog to the point that unhealthy dependency and interactions are no longer noticed
•Allow your dog to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants—aka, provide no structure, rules, or accountability
•Foster an environment of chaos, stress, and anxiety
•Refuse to train and pattern calmness
•Refuse to crate train your dog
•Refuse to correct your dog when inappropriate behavior occurs
•Refuse to train your dog how to be independent/alone by using a “Place” command, “Downstay, and/or “away” time in the crate
•Let your dog out of the crate when it whines or barks
•Avoid training or anything that makes your dog temporarily uncomfortable or unhappy—in other words, cater to your dog’s every desire/need, designing your life around your dog, rather than having your dog fit into yours
•And many, many more...

Basically, baby, soothe, allow, enable, disable, lean on, omit teaching necessary life skills, prioritize what feels good for you rather than what does good for your dog, and through this master plan of leadership-free chaos, and systematic cultivation of creating a toxic dependency between dog and human...you’ll ensure that when you leave, your dog will be a true emotional mess, because you haven’t prepared them to be calm, obedient, strong, resilient, robust, independent, and alone.
