Havanese puppies are no different then any other in the fact that they need proper potty training as soon as possible and a lot of dog training books don't cover enough of the subject. Havanese potty training will ensure that your dog does not soil your carpet to the point of needing to be replaced. There is nothing worse then having to spend thousands of dollars on new carpet just because your Havanese wasn't properly potty trained. So to prevent that, you need to first decide where you do want your Havanese to potty. This can outdoors or somewhere inside.

In determining whether your Havanese should use the potty outside or inside, think about your current housing situation and schedule. Do you live in a house or apartment that has a safe yard for your puppy? Will you be fine going outside with your puppy each day?

Are you away working for long periods of time that would make it hard for your Havanese to hold their bladder? If so, this could cause accidents and then hurt feelings within your puppy for breaking house rulesbut what else are they to do?

Now that you have decided where you want to start your Havanese potty training, you need to think about how to actually get them to go where you want. For puppies and dogs who will go outside, I prefer the bell ringing method as it is a way for your puppy to let you know they have to go without loud barking or scratch marks on the door or trim work.

Once the bell has been rung, go ahead outside. Soon your puppy will be able to put two and two together and will know that by ringing the bell that it's potty time.

If outside training is not an option for you, Havanese training for inside is just as easy. It is best to select a nice plastic puppy litter box and line it with puppy absorbent pads. These pads make for easy cleanups and absorb very well. Now, every time you see or sense that your puppy has to go potty, place them into this box. After some repetition, your Havanese will pick up on the training and go there for potty time. Soon, you will see that Havanese potty training wasn't as hard as you thought at first.

Whether it is going potty inside or outside, your Havanese potty training should not take long to finish. It is vital that you, the owner, always remain calm and positive during the training period. Your Havanese only wants to please you and just like children need constant encouragement, as does your puppy. A lot of the potty training success is dependant upon you being consistent.

Just like you would want to praise a child for well-done work or excellent behavior, you will want to do during Havanese training. Give them the praise and attention they deserve for being on the right track. This encouragement will make sure that your puppy continues with their training. To make housebreaking go as quick and painless as possible, start Havanese training as quickly as possible after brining him or her into your home. And if you haven't started yet, it is never too late to start.
