How to Train your NORWEGIAN ELKHOUND GREY

Training Your Norwegian Elkhound

The Norwegian Elkhound is a robust, highly intelligent spitz breed bred to hunt moose. They are fiercely courageous, very vocal, and independent.

Key Training Tips:

• Barking Control: They were bred to hold moose at bay by barking continuously. Teaching the "quiet" command is difficult but absolutely essential.
• Firm Leadership: They are strong-willed and will test your authority. You must be a confident, consistent leader using positive reinforcement.
• Boredom Prevention: They are highly intelligent and need mental challenges. Incorporate agility or advanced obedience to keep their minds engaged.

They form an incredibly deep, protective bond with their families and are excellent, albeit noisy, watchdogs.
