Puppies very rarely come into Havanese rescue. Most of our dogs are between the ages of 1 and 10 years of age.

Can you train an older dog? I wanted a puppy so it would love me and be easier to train.

You are in for a treat! Older dogs are indeed trainable. We can share resources with you to assist in your adoption of an older dog. We also strongly encourage (and sometimes even require) you to become involved in a dog training class for your adopted Havanese. It can be a great bonding experience for you and your dog.

As already stated, Havanese are very sociable animals. They want to be with you and often learn quite quickly what is expected of them, even if they don't always comply. They have a sense of humor and clown for attention. Don't laugh if you don't want the behavior repeated!
