Siberian Huskies training can be a puzzling experience. They’re a very intelligent breed of dog and have a mind of their own. Most will not obey what they think are pointless commands. Training a Siberian Husky is going to take consistency, patience, caring, and an understanding of the breed.
With repetitive tasks Siberian Huskies will often become bored. They will obey you but only if there is not something more interesting going on that draws away their attention. They will bond to their master easily and will be very loyal to their owner but will do it in their own way.
Siberian Huskies love to run. Mix the love of running with a love of digging and without a good fence that is buried quite far into the ground you’re going to spend a lot of time running and chasing your Husky. It is important to always keep a Siberian Husky on a leash or they will run possibly far enough to become lost.
To train a Siberian Husky you will often to have to resort to manipulation instead of just the normal praise and punishment. One method of training Siberian Huskies is to constantly show them that you are more important that they are. You can do this with little things like walking through doorways before they do. Do not walk around them but instead make them move out of the way. When playing with a dog toy never let the playing end with your Husky in control of the toy.
To gain the trust of your Siberian Husky a good tip is to start off while he or she is eating to add treats to the food dish. The goal is to eventually get to a point where you can remove the bowl white the animal is eating to add the treats. You can also put the dog on its back and rub its ears, paws, and belly. Make the gaining trust experience enjoyable for the both of you.
Whatever method you use to train your Siberian Husky keep in mind that the two more important elements to any dog training are trust and security.

Schipperke is a working dog that is known for it’s intelligence and strong will. They Schipperke can make a great addition as a family member in your home but it is important to do your Schipperke training.
When the Schipperke is just a puppy it is important that the breeder or the owner spends time training the dog socially. This is important so that when the Schipperke is ready it is comfortable in it’s new home with new animals and people.
Schipperke training is very important, as you’ll often find they’re capable of devilish behavior. Nothing to serious but don’t be surprised to find your favorite slipper missing, or a newspaper torn up and the dog always seems to look innocent seemingly saying, “wasn’t me I swear!” Being small and quick you’ll notice that your Schipperke disappears when trouble arises.
Your Schipperke will be stubborn at times during it’s training. You may find the dog unwilling to give up objects. When in trouble or when needing to go somewhere you’ll find the dog wants to stay just out of reach. So do not be surprised when you have these little complications during your Schipperke training.
You may also find at times that your dog “talks back” or takes revenge out on you after he or she has been disciplined or scolded. It may be something like chewing, or tearing something up. Possibly even going to the bathroom inside the house even though your dog is housetrained. Many times the reason these events happen is because the dog feels that it has become the pack leader or is higher in order than the owner is. It is always necessary to keep control and dominance over the dog and this will mostly happen when the dog is a puppy.
Training your new pet does mean you have to be mean or harsh with your dog. Two of the most important factors in your Schipperke training are going to be firmness and consistency. If a dog gets away with something once in awhile it knows that. Stay firm, stay consistent and you and your new pet will have a great relationship.

The Chow Chow is a fairly easy dog to train assuming you are capable of maintaining a relationship with you dog in which you are dominant. If you can establish yourself as the pack leader, handling a Chow Chow should be easy to do, and even lots of fun for you and your Chow Chow.
The one problem I see among Chow Chows time and time again is overly aggressive behavior. The Chow Chow is very protective and if they are put into a stressful situation or if a stranger forces themselves upon a Chow Chow they may react with aggressive growling and sometime biting. Aggression is a behavior that needs to be unlearned as fast as possible. Proper socialization is an essential part of unlearning aggression. If a puppy Chow Chow is allowed to play freely with other puppies or even larger dogs, they will quickly learn what is playful and what is too aggressive when a peer dog retaliates.
Chow Chows typically get along with children especially if they are around children while they are puppies. As a Chow Chow ages, it may try to gain dominance over your children or small pets. In these cases you simply need to step in and make your Chow Chow aware of their bad behavior. Though if the adults of a family are able to establish dominance many Chow Chows will leave children alone. Again most Chow Chows are friendly with adults and children as long as they are familiar with them, and only a small percentage of Chow Chow will show aggression towards their family. They will remain suspicious of strangers however.
It all depends on the luck of the draw. Some Chow Chows are aggressive some aren’t. With proper socialization while your Chow Chow is a puppy will avoid most problems with aggression in the future, so take the time to ensure this step is taken.
