Training your dog is something that each and every Alaskan Malamute owner must do. You need to take the time to properly train and socialize your dog. Pet owners who do not train their dogs effectively will have problems as their Alaskan Malamute grows with misconduct and distressed neighbors. It is strongly advised to start training your dog as soon as you get him home.

How do you train your Alaskan Malamute?

Too many people believe that training a dog simple. Just make the dog do what you want and shout the corresponding command. Right?

Well, you could try training your Alaskan Malamute using the "push, pull, shove, and shout" method and all I can say is "good luck with that". You may eventually teach your dog a few simple commands using that method but there are better, faster ways.

There are a number of dog training techniques and you may want to try all of them.

These different techniques have been developed because every person and every dog is unique.

Different personalities of dogs and owners have given rise to different approaches.

You will probably employ more than one technique before you settle on one that suits you and your Alaskan Malamute.

Even though all these techniques work, you are the one who has to execute them successfully.

Alaskan Malamute training courses are designed to work with the dog's innate desire to please the "alpha" dog which is, in this case, you.

Alaskan Malamutes want love and attention but just from the people they have faith in – and they are likely to take some time to acquire this faith.

As with every dog breed, each Alaskan Malamute has a distinct personality – some are easier to teach, while others will give you a tough time.

Given below are a small number of the most general Alaskan Malamute training guidelines that will help you to make your dog into a genuine buddy and friend:

Tolerance is essential when teaching a Alaskan Malamute.

Even though they grow up physically comparatively quick, they still behave like puppies till they are nearly one and a half to two years old.

Don't expect your Alaskan Malamute to behave like an adult dog until he is about 2 years old.

And, although you want your dog to behave, don't curb his mischievous temperament totally.

Alaskan Malamutes are lively dogs, so when training, try to employ training practices that engage physical activity – they adore it.

Alaskan Malamute housebreaking training is not a complicated procedure and the dog should learn relatively quickly what is permitted and not permitted in the house.

Chew toys are a necessity with the Alaskan Malamute. Given that they are in a puppy stage for a longer period than the majority of dogs, you may need to conform your training techniques with this in mind.

Begin the training program for your Alaskan Malamute early on or else the puppy will grow into a very stubborn Alaskan Malamute and be a lot tougher to train.

Obedience training your Alaskan Malamute is not much different from training other dog breeds, but bear in mind that you are working with a spirited breed, and patience and understanding will make the training easier and more enjoyable.

When cared for properly, these dogs can live 16 years or more.

Good Alaskan Malamute training will ensure a better life, both for you and your beloved pet.
