About the Samoyed
Known for their the smiling sled dog, cheerful and social but with a stubborn independent streak and a love of barking that matches their love of people, Samoyeds have a perpetual smile and social butterfly energy that makes them the friendliest fluffball who also happens to bark at everything.
Common Samoyed Training Challenges
The most common challenge Samoyed owners face is excessive barking and pulling on leash. Other frequent issues include barking, pulling, digging, and stubbornness despite their smiling face.
Sound familiar?
Picture your Sammies pulling like a sled dog on every walk, barking endlessly, and covering your entire house in white fur while ignoring every command you give.
The Right Training Approach for Samoyeds
The key to training a Samoyed lies in leveraging their natural love of people and desire to be included that turns training into a social event they don't want to miss. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Samoyeds were bred to be vocal communicators with their mushers. Their barking is communication, not disobedience. Acknowledge their "talking" then redirect. Complete silence is an unrealistic goal for this breed.
Samoyed puppies look like fluffy angels. Do not be fooled. Start consistent training before 12 weeks while they are still willing to listen.
The Transformation
Whether your Samoyed is a cotton-ball puppy or a full-grown cloud who thinks they're still running sleds, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your smiling, fluffy Samoyed walking beside you with that signature smile, barking only when appropriate, and responding eagerly to your commands because being a good dog means more attention.

What Samoyed Owners Say
