Havanese Paper Training Without the Fuss

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.
If you have bought the dog pen, set it up to cover a small area and cover the floor with paper. Let the dog go to the bathroom wherever he wants in this pen. This sends the message to the dog that anywhere in the pen is allowable to excrete on and he can decide the best spot. Also make sure you put water, food and a little shelter in the yard. You may find that the dog’s favorite spot during the Havanese paper training is the furthest away from the food and shelter.

After waiting a few days observe where the dog seems to be leaving his droppings, and leave the paper there but slowly remove the other pieces in a process that should last a couple of days. After this is done and you are left with one sheet left, the dog should stick to this smaller area. If it does not, then back pedal and put more sheets back.
If your Havanese is keeping to its spot, you are safe to start extending the size of the yard. Do this slowly so the dog doesn’t lose track but after a while you should be able to let the dog roam free while still having it go to the bathroom where you want. 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.
Once you are done Havanese paper training, your dog should now be fully trained. If it is not, you may have to start again. Hopefully the second time can happen more quickly and be more successful. Once this is complete you will have a very playful, cute, loyal and clean dog for your family.
