Saucy Pet

Some Havanese can be a bit mysterious when it comes to their affections. Thus, a Hav looks like it does not mind spending time with any one family member, but nevertheless it can be seen appreciating very much if together with a certain person.

But on the other hand, there is actually nothing wrong with such a behavior. But one worrisome bit is that a hav can also mysteriously be desperate for the company of a few selected people or just one person. It refuses to do anything at all with somebody, say, walks or to sleep, if the preferred person does not join in. Some owners try to dig deeper into the matter, since it is possible submissive behavior is at the bottom of it all.

One of the basic havanese training steps to solving this problems involve interacting with the dog one person at a time, with nobody interrupting or joining in in occupying the dog’s attention. The family member who wants to bond with the dog will need to cook up games, and involve the dog’s favorite toys.

Fear can of course be a factor behind the dog’s behavior. The solution is also clear: socialization, and more positive interactions with other dogs. Indeed, there is a different value in a dog getting to meet total stranger-dogs in the park, or in a walk.

Fear is an important havanese training consideration that nevertheless needs a level head to solve, so a full stop must be put on all the actions of the family that smack of coddling or soothing in order to alleviate fear. But potentially ugly situations nevertheless need to be avoided.

To help dogs overcome fear, some owners even coax their dog to come close to what is scaring them, then giving them praise and treats immediately afterwards to help the dog feel secure.

Again, as we have seen, Havs may indeed be one-person dogs, but they generally do love their entire human family.
