A great dog for any family is a Havanese. These playful and loyal dogs are hypoallergenic and do not shed so they are perfect for inside your house. Yet one problem may arise in toilet training these animals. Havanese paper training is the best way to ensure your house stays clean from the droppings of these cute dogs. It also allows you to forget about having to take your dog outside several times a day to do its business.

The process can be made easier for both you and your dog is you purchase a small crate, training pads and an exercise pen that can be used to make the training process more quick and simple.

You may be concerned about toilet training, as like most toy dogs, this breed takes a little longer than the average dog to learn to control its bladder. Even though the process can take a while, it pays off in the long run to have a fully trained dog.

Set up your pen and make sure it's in there when you don't have your eye on it, make sure you play with it lots though. Cover the whole floor of the yard with newspaper or training pads if you have these. This makes the entire area allowable for your dog to use as a bathroom. Also build a small doorless home in the pen, using a crate or similar.

After time you will notice that the dog is choosing a specific area to do its business and at this time you can start removing pads or paper from the opposite side from where it has chosen its spot. Make sure you do not rush this process as Havanese paper training takes at least a week to get fully going.

Now it is time to slowly increase the size of the exercise yard. Slowly and steadily reducing the amount of paper is most important, don't let the dog get to confident and end up relieving itself everywhere. You can even try increasing the pen to several rooms by blocking them off.

You can also try taking the dog out with you and have it do its business outside.Just be sure to have disposal bags handy.

You should now have a perfectly toilet trained dog, not to mention one that is hypoallergenic, and does not shed hair. If things start to not go well, you may have to bring in some more paper and the exercise pen again, but it should get down to a routine in no time. Treat this cute dog well and appreciate how much easier it is to keep now that its droppings are easy to clean and where you want them.
