Picture your Havanese barking incessantly when left alone, jumping on everyone, and refusing to walk because they'd rather be carried.
The Right Training Approach for Havanese
The key to training a Havanese lies in leveraging their natural desire to perform and love of praise that makes them natural trick learners and eager training partners. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Havanese are nicknamed "velcro dogs" because they attach to their owner. Building even short periods of independence is crucial. Use baby gates and separate rooms to teach them that being alone is safe.
Havanese puppies should practice alone-time from 8 weeks. Even 5 minutes behind a baby gate helps prevent separation anxiety later.
The Transformation
Whether your Havanese is a clingy puppy or an adult who still thinks separation is the end of the world, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your happy little Havanese settling calmly in their crate when you leave, greeting guests with a happy wiggle and all paws down, and trotting confidently on their own four feet.
