Best Ways to Potty Train a Havanese

January 01, 20232 min read

Potty training a Havanese puppy can be a challenging task, but it's an essential part of raising a happy and healthy pet. Havanese dogs are intelligent, affectionate, and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. However, they can also be stubborn and independent, which can make potty training more difficult. Here are some of the best ways to potty train your Havanese puppy:

1. Start early

The earlier you start potty training your Havanese puppy, the better. As soon as you bring your puppy home, start taking them outside frequently to go potty. Puppies have small bladders and need to go out often, so be prepared to take them out every few hours, including during the night.

2. Consistency is key

Consistency is essential when it comes to potty training. Take your puppy out to the same spot every time, and use a consistent command, such as "go potty." This will help your puppy learn what is expected of them and make the training process easier.

3. Positive reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool when it comes to potty training your Havanese puppy. Praise and rewards can encourage good behavior and make the training process more enjoyable for both you and your puppy. When your puppy goes potty outside, be sure to praise them and give them a treat.

4. Crate training

Crate training can be an effective way to potty train your Havanese puppy. Dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping area, so by keeping your puppy in a crate when you can't supervise them, you can help prevent accidents. Be sure to choose a crate that is the right size for your puppy and make it a comfortable and inviting space for them.

5. Patience

Potty training a Havanese puppy takes time and patience. Accidents will happen, and it's essential to stay calm and patient when they do. Yelling or punishing your puppy will only confuse and scare them, making the training process more challenging. Instead, use positive reinforcement and be patient as your puppy learns.

In conclusion, potty training your Havanese puppy takes time, effort, and patience, but it's an essential part of raising a happy and healthy pet. By starting early, being consistent, using positive reinforcement, crate training, and being patient, you can successfully potty train your Havanese puppy. With time and effort, your puppy will learn to go potty outside and become a well-behaved member of your family.
