How to Train your HAMILTONSTÖVARE

Training Your Hamiltonstövare

The Hamiltonstövare is a robust, highly athletic, and incredibly determined scenthound from Sweden. They are highly intelligent but notoriously stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Firm Leadership: They do not take orders easily and view themselves as independent hunters. Establish yourself as a firm, consistent leader using reward-based training.
• Prey Drive: They will chase and track prey relentlessly. Flawless recall is difficult, and they must be strictly managed in open areas.

They are deeply devoted family dogs that respond terribly to harshness; use only positive reinforcement.
