With Havanese puppies gaining such extraordinary recognition over the last thirty years, Havanese breeders are hard pressed to keep up with the influx of requests for these special little dogs. Unfortunately, this has led to the rise of a great many puppy mills across the country who are only interested in supplying pet stores with a large number of dogs very quickly, without paying special attention to the health of the dogs they are selling.

If you have ever checked out a litter of Havanese puppies, you know how difficult it is to leave without taking at least one of those cute critters home with you. This is a sweet and adorable dog that can make a good family pet for many people.

So many people are beginning to recognize just what a wonderful addition Havanese puppies can be to a family. These fiercely loyal and overtly affectionate dogs are the perfect size for apartments and small homes and their mild temperament make them perfect for families with children. If you have been looking to add a new dog to your family, or if you just have a love for small breed dogs, then you absolutely cannot go wrong when choosing a Havanese.

Training a dog to use a litter pan is perfectly unnatural to canine instinct. However, living in an apartment and not having to hunt or scavenge their food is also perfectly unnatural to canine behavior. But dogs have adapted happily and thrive in an urban or small home environment. One of the breeds of small doge that have taken any adaptations in their care are Havanese. Training them are usually easier than in other small dog breeds.

When bringing a fun-loving puppy into the household many people do not understand that the dog was not born knowing right from wrong. Additionally, what may be acceptable behavior in one household may not be welcome in another environment. As the new Havanese is brought into a home it needs to understand what behaviors will please its owner as well as what behaviors will place it at the center of attention. Once it understands what makes the owner happy, it will begin to repeat the behavior.

All dogs, even your dog, needs basic obedience training. This means your dog should know his or her name, come when called, sit and stay on command, know how to walk on a lead, know not to jump up on people and generally be a good Canine Ambassador. Havanese love to please their people and are considered highly trainable. You can channel their energy into obeying you for rewards.
