Hello Dogsey folks!

I have a Havanese puppy. She is 11 weeks old. It's been a long time since I have had a puppy. Not since 1976. That dog a pure Pit bull My "Angel Babe" Was a great dog. she died at around 13 years old. My next dog was a mix, that we saved. He was two years old when we got him. Then we lost him at 14 years old. Then somebody gave us a one year old Havanese. her name was Gracie. We loved all of our dogs. And it was very hard loosing everyone of them. But Gracie seemed to be the hardest. Maybe its because we are getting old. So we went out and bought a pup. Sassy is her name. I have to learn from scratch how to puppy proof a house, train to go pee and poop outside. I need help. I dont know how to use a crate. What size to get. Or if I should even get one at all. Use training pads or not. Any help would be so welcome. Thanks. filix.

Hi and welcome filix.
I have to admit I had to google Havanese. Nice breed.
House training?
We just opened the doors - he got the hang of it pretty quickly.
Puppy proofing? Leave nothing you value within reach. And have patience.

Thank you for the warm welcome. filix.
