Havaneses don't typically need to be trained to enjoy swimming, as long as it is done in a safe area where they are comfortable. They benefit from swimming, because it is an aerobic activity that increases their heart rate and burns off excess energy. Furthermore, the water activates muscles that help keep their bones and joints strong.
Although all dog breeds have unique characteristics, Havaneses can make a great choice for first-time owners. This breed is known for being very intelligent, and they are easily trainable.
