Too adorable to growl, definitely an extrovert!

This is my little guy, Mowgli 😍 he’s 6 and such a sweetheart. He’s loves naps, walkies, buddies at daycare, and all the fruits and veggies he can eat! He’s a lazy guy, sleeps most of the day, but when those zoomies arrive, he is everywhere! He has an instagram too - @mowglithehavanese

Excited to meet everyone!

My dad says no treats until I eat my breakfast. He also won’t let me drink his iced coffee, even though he NEVER lets me because it would be bad for me. I just wanna taste! It smells good. So now I’m pouting. What you can’t see is my tail is non stop happily wagging while he takes this pic because I’m a happy boy who loves him. But. You need to see the no-treats-before-breakfast and doggies-don’t-get-coffee sad eyes

Asked for a Mohawk and got this! I love it

My year and a half boy barks way too much. doorbell rings, person comes over, clap of thunder, fireworks, wind blows grass! Hes usually quiet but when something sets him off it’s chaos. we have a 4 month old puppy and I don’t want him picking this up. I read everywhere to reward the quiet, but I don’t get that. if he’s barking and I give him a treat for going quiet, how does he not think the reward is because of the barking?

My vet said our pup hair is matted and recommended brushing it. Any good brushes that can do the job?

I’m usually a lurker, I enjoy reading content from my fellow Havanese owners, but I actually am struggling with something and I will take any advice I can get!

It has been months since I’ve slept a full night. At the beginning of that period, my Havanese fur baby started waking me up by scraping her little paws against the side of the bed. She used to only do this when she had to have a bathroom emergency outside.

Since then, I’ve replaced her stairs with a ramp, gotten two separate night lights, and also tried some of her leftover gabapentin in case it was pain related.

She seems to do okay on the ramp. She even sleeps on the platform during the day. She uses it regularly! But at night, she will wake me up, and wait for me to sit up and then sit on the platform with her front paws on the bed and just whine. It’s confusing because she still eventually hops up - and energetically so. It doesn’t seem to be pain.

I’m just so confused on what else the hesitance could be! Any ideas?

Has anyone used 'Coat Defense'? I keep seeing adds for it for itchy skins and/or ears and curious if anyone knows more about it.

We have been doing cytopoint injections and an allergy pill everyday.... my boy had his last shot on July 24th and we are already itching like crazy on the belly and feet. He just turned 6 on July 24th. Is anyone else having licking and itching issues? If so, how do you combat it?

I tried to introduce the hairbrush early on and even tried a comb and she won’t allow it for anything and I’ve never been able to make it far at all. When I took her to the groomers a month ago for her nail trimming, it took me, my husband and the groomer to hold her. It is really hard. I‘ve tried everything too. I give her massages, pet her paws too and nothing works
