What To Expect From A Havanese
by: Fiona Kelly
One of the most positive and prevalent traits you can expect from your Havanese is companionship and devotion.
A Havanese can live in a small apartment setting with ease.
They don?t require the amount of space or exercise requirements that larger dogs require.
Therefore, in many ways a Havanese dog is very easy to care for.
Various dog breeds are prone to many common health ailments and diseases.
The great thing about the Havanese breed is that it has relatively few genetic diseases in its history.
This is a welcome note to any Havanese owner or anyone that is interested in finding their own wonderful Havanese dog.
The genetic problems of the Havanese include autoimmune skin conditions, cataracts and progressive retina atrophy.
I must stress, however, that it is still important to maintain quality preventative care through vaccinations, heart worm pills, and flea & tick medications.
These preventative health measures are necessary for virtually every breed of dog.
A Havanese has a typical life span of around 16-18 years.
Personality Of The Havanese
This is probably the one burning question that many potential Havanese owners ask. What is their personality like? Well let me go through that for you right now:
1.
Temperament
The temperament of a Havanese is playful and alert.
The Havanese breed is brave even though they are smaller then most other dogs.
This courage helps them to be a great watch dog.
They are devoted to their family.
The Havanese breed is good with children.
The key is to treat the Havanese like a companion and not a toy.
Remember they are not a fragile doll and can play and romp with the best of them.
Their playful attitude and active nature make them great friends for walks, swimming, and playing in the yard.
The Havanese tends to be an indoor dog, but they need exercise as well.
The Havanese makes a great house pet and work well with kids.
It is critical to teach your children to respect your Havanese and create a loving relationship.
2.
Toy Breed
The Havanese breed is a member of the Toy group as classified by the American Kennel Club.
The toy breed is small in stature which makes them wonderful apartment and house dogs.
The Havanese can be a great choice for someone that lives in the city.
3.
Exercise Requirements
A Havanese dog loves to curl up on the couch with you.
However, they do also like to take a walk.
In fact, walking should be part of their exercise plan.
A Havanese will often be ready to play, but at times will want you to carry them during the walk.
This can be tempting, especially because they are so cute!
Don?t carry them.
This will only spoil them.
They need the exercise or they will become restless and irritable.
A restless, bored, and irritable dog is prone to behavioral problems.
Exercise and play not only keeps your dog physically fit, but it promotes their mental health as well.
Keep your Havanese happy and healthy with games, walks, and a good belly rub.
4.
Great Family Dog
A Havanese can make a wonderful family dog.
This breed is good with children if you train and socialize them properly.
They have an innate need to watch over their family.
They may not be able to attack an intruder, but they can let you know with a bark that an intruder is present.

by: Gary Matthews
Lets face it everybody knows that strength training builds muscle but did you know that it does more much more for you in the health stakes. Lets have a look at these strength training tips one by one and you will see what a difference this valuable tool will make to your general health:
Weights Improve Immunity - Immune strength depends on the availability of the amino acid glutamine and your muscles have to supply the glutamine to your immune system in order for it to work.

Weights Grow Bone - A study at Stanford University showed clearly that about 20% of bone mineral density is dependent on maintaining muscle.

Tire Jump Foundation Training for your Dog
Tire Jump Foundation Training for your Dog
by: Brad Carlson
The Tire Jump seems like a relatively easy agility obstacle, at least from a persons perspective, but in the Novice Agility ring you see many dogs that refuse to go through it, many go under it, while others choose to go around it.
How can you prepare your beginning agility for success with the Tire Jump?
Let's go back to foundation training. When introducing any new obstacle, you want to keep the difficulty low and emphasize the fun and ease that it can be for your dog.
If your dog has a sit stay, leave him about 2 feet in front of the tire, facing it, walk to the other side and call your dog, "Come Tire".
If he won't budge, put your hand with his treat or toy through the tire to coax him to follow your hand and jump through the tire.
Practice this several times until he willing is coming to you.
Keep him about 2 feet from the tire, you...

If you offer formalized training, whether for your company employees or as a paid expert whose business is professional education seminars, it's important to assure that the entire process runs smoothly throughout the course of the training.
