Samoyeds are extremely friendly dogs who welcome everyone with enthusiasm and excitement. They are playful, good with children, and devoted to their owners which makes them good family dogs. The Samoyeds are a highly intelligent breed who respond best to firm, consistent authority and do well if they are the only pet in the house.

Although relatively easy to train, Samoyeds do like to chew. If left alone for long periods of time, a Samoyed can cause significant damage to the home's interior. Daily exercise and a lot of human interaction are required to keep these lively dogs happy and under control. Here are some training tips that will help you.
Respect and assurance are the two foundational essentials to any animal training plan. This phase is remarkably important when schooling a dog. A dog is societal by nature, and you can use this inclination to make training him easier.
Being this control figure is the core of any successful dog training program. Without establishing trust and loyalty first, all of your training efforts will probably be ineffective. Your dog will come to regard and depend on you in time, but first, you have to deal with him consistently and impartially.
When the dog has learned to have confidence in and respect you, he or she will be astonished at how fast the training sessions advance.
All too frequently, new dog owners do not understand that while affection is important, it does not take the place of loyalty. Being loving to your dog can either assist building loyalty or it can undermine it.
While a puppy is an exuberant force with which to be reckoned, it is crucial to establish some expectations early on to develop good habits. You will not do your dog any good when you indulge him as a puppy and then expect him to respect you when you are ready to begin training him.
Dogs build certainty by knowing the rules, and they foster loyalty when you impose the rules. Every dog in the group understands what is required of it, and knows their place in the pecking order.
Good luck training your new Samoyed puppy!

Hi, I have three dogs a samoyed, Japanese Spitz and a basset hound, both my samoyed and spitz are always ganging up on my basset hound, is there any way to stop this behaviour? Also I am thinking about getting another dogs: A Newfoundland, a Saint Bernard or a leonberger, which one is best for the dogs I already have?
Thank you
Mark says
Your Japanese Spitz may feel jealous because he thinks that he is loved less by you than your Basset Hound. Being unable to fight the Basset Hound himself, he may seek the help of your Samoyed, especially if the Samoyed is younger and is under your spitz’s influence.
The only effective way to stop this behavior is to become the real leader of your pack. In this case, the dogs won’t dare fight without your permission. It’s not so easy to become a leader though.
It may be risky to get another dog, especially of a large breed, before you improve the current situation because your new dog may join the anti-basset gang. Of the three breeds mentioned, the Leonberger is probably the most dominant.
