Book Description
"Most breed specific books are cold and boring and offer no solutions to some of the issues people may face raising the Havanese. Your book does! Thank you for writing a breed specific book that incorporates all aspects of rearing the Havanese from puppy to adult." Veronica Guillet - Renaissance Havanese The Havanese is an adorable dog whose cute and cuddly look has won over people for decades. And that look is a perfect reflection of their personality. Havanese dogs love to be with people, and you will not want for attention nor affection when you have one as a pet. When you are home, your dog will want to be right there with you, being petted, brushed, or played with – whatever you want to do together. Your Havanese isn’t going to be particularly picky about what you do as long as you do it together. The more the merrier – so long as your dog knows everyone is present. The Complete Guide to Havanese Dogs is written for the busy new owner who needs to quickly and easily learn everything they NEED to know as they embark on their journey of Havanese ownership. This comprehensive guide answers every question you may have including: Is a Havanese the right dog for me? How do I care for my Havanese the first few weeks? How can I best train my Havanese? What are some common mistakes should I avoid? Be prepared for your new puppy, and all the challenges that come along with owning a Havanese. This book will take you on a step-by-step journey and walk you through virtually everything you'll need to know as a new Havanese owner, including: Silky, Sweet, Cuddlers – the Defining Characteristics Breed History and Characteristics The Ideal Havanese Home Finding Your Havanese Preparing for Your Puppy The First Week The First Month Housetraining Socialization and Experience Being a Puppy Parent Living with other dogs Training You Havanese Puppy Basic Commands Havanese Nutrition Grooming – Productive Bonding Basic Health Care Health Concerns Your Aging Havanese Havanese are quite intelligent, but they prefer to use their minds to keep you entertained, which is what makes them so popular. Watching them dance around with their hair flying around them looks both graceful and hypnotic. They are also incredibly loving, but they do require a bit more attention since they are so smart. Habits like barking can become a problem if you do not train them – however, if you do a bit of training, they don’t bark that much. Given their size, training is pretty easy since they can easily sit in your lap and just enjoy petting and listening to the chatter. They can be incredibly energetic as well, but it is also easy to help them work off that energy through moderate exercise. Walking with them daily and playing inside will be more than enough to make them a nearly perfect dog for any home!

Pages : 322
Book Description
Cesar Millan—nationally recognized dog expert—helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America’s most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense—his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar’s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions. Cesar’s formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected. You'll learn: • What your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving him • Why a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship • How to relate to your dog on a canine level • There are no “problem breeds,” just problem owners • How to choose a dog who’s right for you and your family • The difference between discipline and punishment • And much more! Filled with fascinating anecdotes about Cesar’s longtime clients, and including forewords by the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is the only book you’ll need to forge a stronger, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.

Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Brand new to Amazon If you are looking for a book about Pomeranians that goes above and beyond, you've found it. This incredible 372-page tome dives into every aspect needed to raise a happy, self-confident, well-behaved, and healthy Pomeranian. Each action you take, decision you make, and even the words you say have an impact on your Pomeranian. This book explores every relevant topic with an emphasis on concise information and practical advice that never leaves you wondering 'what next?' You'll be armed with the knowledge you need for all elements affecting your Pom directly or indirectly through every phase of life; from puppyhood through adulthood and into the senior years. Learn about the Pomeranian with size and structural variations, show vs. pet Poms, personality (and how your actions help shape it), color, intelligence, and more. If you're just now bringing a Pom home, this book will guide you with introductions to home & family, how to handle nighttime crying, setting up your Pom's area, early desensitization, and more. This book is tailored to your Pomeranian; shy or hyper, clingy or a bit too independent, a dog that jumps up on visitors or hides behind furniture when the doorbell rings. Every behavioral quirk that may manifest (26 sections) is in this massive book, including a comprehensive section on separation anxiety to give your Pom the gift of self-confidence and security while you're away from home. The grooming chapter (10 sections) is extensive, with a schedule of tasks, a breakdown of each, step-by-step bathing, the importance of proper drying, brushing (puppy and adult), tangles, coat products, nail clipping (with photos), tear stains, and more. The coat is one of this breed's most defining features; this Pomeranian book covers it all with puppy to adult coat transitions, trimmings, shedding, and fur loss issues with home remedies to help restore the coat. The training sections are exceptional with step-by-step instructions to curb barking (every single barking scenario along with training for each), heeling alongside you, meet & greets with other dogs, nipping, humping, begging, over-zealous licking, command training, instilling proper hierarchy, socialization and desensitization, and much more. Feeding and nutrition (10 sections) is explored in full, with advice vital to your Pomeranian's short and long-term health, as well as female topics (including full pregnancy, whelping, and 'breeding for color' info), body part specific care, and house training (9 sections; ensuring fast success with no stone left unturned). The Exercise & Activity chapter covers requirements, fun things to do, dog park safety, weather-related adjustments, and much more. This book doesn't slow down for a moment, with incredibly extensive health information (30+ sections) covering every issue the Pomeranian is prone to, conditions that affect toy breeds, and relevant issues seen with canines in general, including an outstanding allergy chapter. Never second-guess yourself, wondering what to do. Within this Pomeranian care book are the results of two puppy-growth studies of 249 Pom puppies that tracked first-year weights, comprehensive owner survey results exploring appearance, behavior, and health of 3,695 Pomeranians, statistics regarding life expectancy, and an entire chapter dedicated to keeping your Pom safe. Throughout this book are sidebars, charts, beautiful photos (b&w), and supplemental aids. Contributors include several top reputable AKC Pomeranian breeders and author and trainer Faye Dunningham who provides special-edition training sections. We hope you're excited to begin the journey of learning more about your Pom and providing the very best of care. Let's get started!
