Havanese Training As Key to Discovering Star Havanese Temperaments

 

Dog fanatics and owners are constantly on the lookout for new activities for their pet dogs. Of course, the motive to show off the dog’s intelligence through complex moves is always present. But there is also the search for variety in outlets where the dog can vent its energies, and the dog is helped to feel like a participative member of the pack. Indeed, for the dog to feel happy and content, it needs to be physically and mentally occupied and stimulated. Yet another important reason is that dog owners want to check out new interesting activities that will allow them to have a better ties with their pets. Certainly one of the newer-sounding sports that have gained attention in the dog competition scene is the musical canine freestyle. The Havanese is a familiar fixture in this new sport. In fact, the Havanese with Havanese training is an ideal dance partner since it is so willing to participate and very brilliant.

A lot of ill-informed individuals call the freestyle as just “heeling to music”. While it is indeed true that there is a type of musical canine freestyle that concentrates only on heelwork set to music, participants however beg to differ from such a narrow view. The sport itself is rooted in obedience, but musical canine freestyle (also called simply musical freestyle or canine freestyle) throws in tricks and dance, set to music, so that the dog and owner foster a better creative relationship that is independent of the restrictions put up by basic obedience. These days, there are many groups and organizations that conduct and sanction canine freestyle events and certain Havanese training styles, promote certain styles and award prizes.

The rules for competition are slightly vary from organization to organization, and from country to country too. But there are some basic points that has to do with technique, and artistic execution that are similar among various organizations. Competition routines beyond the beginner levels must be, for example, put into action without the aid of any leash or training device. Any number of team compositions are permissible, such as one dog and one handler, or two or more dogs and their handlers. The team composition most often seen in competitive events is one dog and one handler. Whatever the team, the music must fit the nature and pace of the routine, and judges will be observing this. A dog going through its repertoire of tricks with nary a flaw is excellent, but judges will never award points of there is no stylistic link between music and routine.

Canine freestyle events are also avidly followed on TV. What is identified on TV as “exhibition freestyle” though, is sometimes not in accordance with competition rules and only aim to show off how thrilling and rewarding the sport is. Competition level musical freestyle may have heelwork, such as pivoting, moving forwards, backwards, and diagonally; tricks in a routine may include jumps, spins, bows and rolling over. Lastly, judges are always glued to a routine seeing how the dog with Havanese training directly responds to the dance moves of the handler.
