Havashire Terrier training recommendations.

We have just been given a 10 week old male Havashire Terrier unexpectedly. DP and I have only previously had larger dogs so are wondering if there are any training programmes which work well with bouncy little fluffballs like this?

For anyone that's wondering, he is a gorgeous little ball of black fur with a tiny white tuft on his chest :)

Any training method that promotes positive force free training would be fine.

What's a Havashire terrier?

Clicker training's good, but I don't really see why training a small dog is any different to a big one. Smile

A dog is a dog, largely.

Training is training.

As someone with a small breed puppy I'd say it is exactly the same. I think treating them differently as how you end up with so called small dog syndrome.

Just googled...tis a havanese/Yorkshire terrier cross Wink

I had to google too.

Thank you all. I was worried about small dog syndrome, and did think training would be the same as for any dog, but wanted to check first.

I think I'll give clicker training a go, I have heard good things about it, but I've never done it before. Are there any good books or online tutorials anyone can recommend?

Kikopup on YouTube is great.

Thanks. I'll look that up :)
