How to Train your YAKUTIAN LAIKA

Training Your Yakutian Laika

The Yakutian Laika is a massive, fiercely powerful sledding and hunting spitz. They are highly independent and possess an overwhelming prey drive.

Key Training Tips:

• Pack Mentality: They view their family as a pack and will fiercely challenge weak leadership. You must be an incredibly calm, confident, and dominant leader.
• Harness Work: They were bred to pull massive weight. Teach them to pull a sled or cart; it provides essential physical and mental exercise.

They are highly serious working dogs, not typical family pets, and demand an expert handler.
