Havanese Obedience Training

Attention! Fall in puppy recruits! It’s time for obedience training! Well, maybe it’s not that rigid, but your Havanese obedience training needs to start early. Your dog needs to know the rules of your home and how to get along with other pets and humans. Let’s look at what you can expect from your dog and when.

Great Puppy Expectations

Housebreaking should begin when your dog is a puppy. This is especially important in training a Havanese to control his bladder since it usually takes longer to housebreak a dog of this breed. Our next article discusses Havanese potty training in detail.

Establishing a daily routine helps structure the day for your young Havanese so that he knows what to expect. Having predictable nap times, play times and meal times can be reassuring.

As your puppy gets older you can expect more out of him in terms of obedience, and he can learn simple commands like stay, sit and down and can become comfortable walking on a leash. But try not to expect complete obedience overnight; remember, he’s only a puppy once. Try to enjoy his amusing—and sometimes disobedient—behavior when it comes to minor issues that don’t endanger his health or safety. Also remember that Havanese training doesn’t have to be harsh, and that an overly harsh tone from you may upset your pet. Try to stick with positive reinforcement as it works very well with most Havanese.

Formal Havanese Obedience Training

You can enroll your Havanese in obedience classes once he is about a year old. Although formal obedience training is by no means a requirement for your dog, he—and you—may benefit from the experience. Often, an owner may have issues with one or more behaviors in his dog but is unsure about how to correct it, and an obedience trainer can be a big help. Sometimes it may seem that the Havanese obedience trainer is also trying to correct your behavior! (in terms of relating to the dog that is); to a certain extent this is true. Dogs follow commands when they are presented authoritatively, so the more sure you are about your role as the dog’s master, the better behaved your dog is likely to be. Where can you find obedience training? Check with your vet or with local kennel clubs. Even if the club is into another breed they will likely accept any paying participant and dog to take part in the classes.

When it comes to training, the most common issue we need to solve is about how to let your puppy know where to “do his business”; or in other words, we need to discuss Havanese Potty Training.
