Even the cutest Samoyeds may develop habits that annoy and upset their owners within a limited home environment. Starting obedience training on Samoyeds from an early age can prevent bad habits from forming, as preventing is always easier than correcting bad habits later. If you find some behaviors of your Samoyed at home harmful, you need to return to some basic training and adopt a correction method acceptable to both parties to make your Samoyed obedient.

　　Remember, Samoyeds do not do bad things deliberately to retaliate against their owners: the human preference for punishment does not apply to dogs.

　　1. Destructive dogs—Samoyeds who love to chew things, especially puppies, sometimes chew things out of loneliness, unhappiness, or to pass the time when left alone at home. The correction method is simple. Just confine the Samoyed alone within a small area so it cannot destroy things. For example, put it in a cage. This can give the Samoyed a sense of security, especially if accompanied by the sound of a radio or TV, and provide it with some toys to chew. Such confinement for the Samoyed should only be temporary, and more exercise and attention should also be given. Do young Samoyeds love to gnaw on furniture?

　　2. Greedy Samoyeds—Dogs that steal food are naturally "scavengers" who will eat any food they see. Each successful theft deepens this bad habit, turning them into habitual thieves. The correction method is also simple. Teach your Samoyed to sit down before feeding. Always place the food in the bowl during feeding, do not feed from other plates or the dining table. Once they understand that obedience is required to eat, they won’t steal food behind your back. However, as a preventive measure, it is best to keep tempting foods out of the Samoyed’s reach.

　　3. How to handle dogs with excessive sexual desire—A young, unneutered male dog may mount human legs or furniture when natural sexual urges are not controlled. Also, when guests come, some social Samoyeds may bother them continuously, causing embarrassment. Dogs aged between one and two years often show this behavior. You can use a spray bottle or water gun to spray the dog to distract its attention. Immediately take some restraint measures to make the Samoyed understand this behavior is bad. Neutering surgery can completely prevent it.

　　4. Lonely dogs—Isolation anxiety Nervous dogs that are left alone at home often growl or even bark wildly. Especially dogs that were not properly socialized outdoors during puppyhood usually behave this way. Some dogs that have changed owners several times also show this behavior. Such little Samoyeds are very pitiful. Before leaving home, you can give your Samoyed special treatment, such as rubbing a favorite toy in your hand and then giving it to the dog, or giving it a tasty animal marrow bone. Also, pay attention not to disturb or irritate it when leaving. Putting the Samoyed in a cage provides a sense of security.

　　For puppies, digging, chewing or scratching objects is a normal behavior that gradually disappears with age, but for adult dogs, it is an abnormal behavior. Causes for such behavior are many, mainly related to the dog's emotional state, such as loneliness when alone, distress, or noisy surroundings, all of which can cause this transient abnormal behavior.

　　Some dogs may develop a bad habit, exhibiting destructive behavior regardless of time or place. The manifestations may be various; some dogs may show this behavior only to a certain object or in a certain location, while others may have no fixed target. (Source: PetsZone)
