Alaskan dog

　　In daily life, we rarely see an Alaskan sled dog that is well trained. Of course, this does not mean that this breed is stupid; rather, their poor discipline and careless nature make them difficult to train. Additionally, owners often lack patience during training, so we seldom see a well-trained Alaskan. How to train Alaskan dogs is a common concern among owners of this breed.

　　1. Alaskan sled dogs have a strong possessive instinct, whether toward their owners or specific food items. Therefore, during training, trainers should be mindful not to trigger the dog’s possessiveness to avoid attacks that could harm the trainer.

　　2. Owners should approach training with tolerance, as dogs do not have the same understanding and intelligence as humans. During the training process, trainers should be forgiving of any unintentional mistakes made by the Alaskan sled dog and carefully teach the dog.

　　3. During training, owners must balance reward and punishment appropriately. Dogs should not be punished excessively nor allowed to act on their impulses. When punishment is necessary, the attitude must be strict and clear. Likewise, when rewarding, do not hesitate to offer affectionate petting and treat rewards.

　　The most important aspect of training dogs is clear rewards and punishments. The attitude toward educating the dog must be firm and explicit, as ambiguity will confuse the dog and severely reduce training effectiveness. Therefore, owners must pay attention. (Source: PetsZone)
