Leashes for Little Dogs

Since Havanese are such a small dog breed, the type of collar and leash you choose for your Havanese is essential to not only the dog's happiness, but yours as well.

Did you know? When a dog's leash is too tight or he pulls too much, it causes restriction and uncomfortable pressure on the dog's airway.  Sometimes this habitual pulling and restriction of the airway can cause permanent damage to both your puppy and adult dogs.

Myth: It is not a good idea to leash train a dog by pulling on it with any degree of force. In fact, this may cause more problems than it solves. It is better instead to train them with a loose leash.

It may seem silly, but be sure to choose a type of material that won't harm your puppy's healthy teeth development. There are many options ranging from nylon to leather to chain leashes. Remember that leather leashes have a little bit of stretch, but nylon do not.

You should also pick a leash that is small in width. Remember, your Havanese puppy is small and will have a hard time if the leash is too heavy for his body weight.
