Additionally, be sure to engage with your pup often both physically and mentally by providing plenty of training, treats, and plenty of toys.

It is important to remember that each Havanese puppy will grow at their own pace, and some may reach their full size faster than others.

Generally, Havanese should get at least half an hour of exercise a day, with a minimum of 10 minutes twice a day. You can mix it up with other activities such as playing Frisbee or running after balls.
