Trainability

Samoyed are independent thinkers by nature which can make training them a bit challenging, especially for people who have never shared a home with this type of dog before. This is why they are not the best choice for first time owners because a Samoyed might just get the better of them. However, in the right environment and in the right hands, a Samoyed can be trained to be relatively obedient bearing in mind these dogs are famous for turning a deaf ear to a command when the mood takes them.

The key to keeping one of these highly intelligent dogs focussed and on the ball, is to make their training sessions as much fun as possible because if a Samoyed gets bored, there's no hope of them paying any attention to what they are being asked to do. Many Samoyeds compete and excel at canine sports which includes activities like obedience, flyball and agility to name but three. With this said, one trait that is deeply embedded in their psyche is to pull which means extra attention has to be made when training a Samoyed to walk on a lead so they don’t pull too much.
