Your puppy will come well on his/her way to being sucessful with a litter pan, but
this is not what I consider reliably housetrained.  I personally believe the best
way to housebreak a Havanese is to CrateTrain them.  Your puppy will come with
several wonderful articles on crate training and instructions.  In the
meantimelet me take a moment and explain a typical day.

The Typical Day
Your Puppy Wakes up in the morning,  you take it out of the crate and CARRY it
outside to its potty area, where you place it and use the "key" word your family
chose.  Once it Potties, bring back into the house and feed him breakfast.  
About 20 minutes later, take him back to his potty area and use your "key"
word again and allow your puppy to potty.  Now he can come back in and play for a
while (probably 45 minutes) - he can do this with you or in his playpen by himself.
 NEVER ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN IN THE PUPPIES PLAYPEN.  Your puppy
needs to learn to play by himself.   When he begins to tucker out,  put him in his
crate with the door shut for a nap...  When he awakes,  take him out of the
crate and CARRY him to his potty area and again use your key word.  Once he
potties, he may come in and play.  Once he begins to tucker, return him to his
crate for another nap.  When he awakes, take him out of his crate and CARRY
him bring him in to play,  once he tuckers back in his crate for a nap.  Keep
repeating this cycle over and over again, day after day and soon you will be on
your way to a reliably housetrained puppy.  Consistancy is the key to quick and
successful houstraining.
**One side note,  you puppy may wake up once in the night to go out... This usually
subsides by 12 weeks.  

Going out for more than 2 hours at First
Because it is essential your puppy doesn't potty in his crate, we have to offer
him an alternative to relieve himself if you are not going to be there to take
him out.  The easiest method is to use his knowledge of litter box training.  So,
potty him before leaving outside and then place him in his playpen.  Put his bed
at one end and Litter box)Purina Litter Pan-Small) with a wee pad in it at the
other.  Give him lots of bones and toys...   Hang a water bottle on the playpen or
give him a water bowl and leave down dry kibble.  Now you can succesfully leave
him for approx 4 hours...
